Proofer

A simple project to explore rust and help my brutal spelling. Written mostly for learning and vibz.

How it works

1. It captures text from the clipboard when activated by a global hotkey (Ctrl+Shift+P).
2. The captured text is sent to a local language model (using the Ollama API) for proofreading.
3. The corrected text extracted and returned back into the clipboard.
4. A helper system notification indicates the proofreading is complete.

Development / Usage

Tauri is a scaffolding tool for creating desktop applications. You can build with:

$ cargo tauri build

or if you just want to run without installing:

$ cargo tauri dev

The app expects a Ollama to be installed with deepseek-coder-v2:16b-lite-instruct-q8_0 and served at http://localhost:11434.

TODO:

• Add a configuration file for the Ollama API endpoint.
• Add a configuration file for the global hotkey.
• Try out Candle to remove extra dependencies.
