Back in Feb, when Grammarly said they were going to think about incorporating AI, I immediately canceled my account and uninstalled. And now they've actually done it.

I'm sharing because with everything going on, writers might not realize this is happening.

@NatureMC @susankayequinn We have a page with good European Alternatives to Grammarly. Currently it only has one entry, LanguageTool (https://languagetool.org/) which is an amazing tool.
Nevertheless more will follow, here:

  1. Maybe I misunderstand your post, but how could you not find the privacy policy and the imprint? It's in the footer of the landing page, which is common practice around the world. (See picture attached)

  1. About saving the texts: I assume that this is just for comfort so that you do not lose texts that you only write in the LanguageTool application. If you test the add-ons for Word, Mail, ect., as far as I'm informed they do not store the text then, since you already store the text somewhere locally, so they don't need to provide a backup.

@european_alternatives Hi! You might have seen I'm writing a newsletter about The European Perspective.

I have reviewed your website and maybe we could collaborate on an article?

I'm thinking of the following:

  • An intro on why it's important to have European Alternatives for Digital Products
  • 4-5 european digital products highlighted: Proton Mail, Ecosia, eTranslation, Vivaldi, OVH Cloue, Mastodon!

Or something similar. Would you be interested?

@rafa_font Thanks for the nice idea! I would be interested in that. Could you send me an email to contact@european-alternatives.eu with a way to contact you.
