Not working on writewithharper

[ocrumbs]

On the https://writewithharper.com page, I cannot get any suggestion for mistakes. May be I am using it wrong!

The core functionality of the program is implemented through different lints that we have to explicitly write. Your example above isn't currently caught by any of the implemented lints. Obviously catching stuff like this is pretty core functionality, but we have been focusing on other parts of the application recently, so the current lints are a bit lacking.
If you try a few other cases, like word repetition, misspellings, multiple spaces, or starting a sentence in lowercase, all those cases should be currently caught. Please let us know if they aren't!

Thanks for the free software. Highly appreciated.

I really do wish to replace Grammarly. I work with lot of non English speaking developers (myself included). I want to suggest Harper to all of them, so I need you all to help me help you.

With other things you mentioned, it works great. I wish one day Harper replaces Grammarly. 💪

Hey @ocrumbs. Lead developer here.

I'm always trying to cover as many cases as possible on the algorithm side. To that end, we could use as much test data as possible. Since we don't collect directly from users, this becomes a little more difficult.

Would you mind sending us a copy of the various things you tried that Harper didn't give great suggestions for?

Thanks for trying it out. We'll get there.

Thanks @elijah-potter, let me compile that list. I will get back here.

These are the most recurring types grammatical pitfalls I have encountered.

#433 and #485 are related.

#433 and #485 are related.

#485 is related but more specific. #433 is a fair bit more technical. This one here would mostly affect beginners just learning English, any wrong conjugation/form of verbs.
