Can you proofread my blog post? - Product Hunt
Hey IH,
It seems like basically every startup, website, and business from all over the world has a blog nowadays - which is great!
The problem: Many blog posts I come across are from non-native English speakers, writing a post in English. This sometimes leads to grammar and spelling mistakes that may diminish credibility with potential customers.
Oftentimes, it would only take a quick proofread by a native English speaker to prevent these mistakes, so I created this simple solution:
Get a native English speaker to proofread your blog post in under 24 hours.
Can't I just ask a friend to proofread?
Of course! However, some people don't have any friends that are native English speakers. Also, some people don't have any friends at all :(
Why not just use something like Grammarly?
You can definitely use Grammarly, but from my experience, their free version often misses many errors.
Sounds like a great idea! I’m not a native English speaker. When I write something I never have confidence that everything is correct :)
Have upvoted in PH and will definitely try it. Thanks for building this.
Thanks for the feedback jkwang! It means a lot to me :)
I like this idea! As a native English speaker myself, I often wish I could quickly fix an article's spelling and grammar mistakes as I read it.
I'm curious how (if?) you plan to monetize this.
Thanks!
Yeah, that was the inspiration behind it. So many blogs (and even websites) have these simple errors that a proofreader would have easily caught.
Personally, when I visit a website with a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes, it makes me hesitant to sign up. I'm sure it's the same for others as well.
After someone submits their post, they are provided a link to tip their proofreader if they wish.
Nice idea Davis. Good luck with it!
Thanks for upvoting on PH, Bart!
