write good is a linter for English prose for developers who can’t write well and want to learn to improve in other areas.
A linter is a computer program that, akin to a spell checker, scans through a file and detects issues — like how a real lint roller helps you get unwanted lint off of your shirt.
It can be used as a command-line tool or with its API.
This is free and open source software.
