Thanks, feel free to let me know what you think!

#23Would be nice to see most popular non-latin alphabet languages support: Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hindi, Russian.
Definitely! The main reason I haven't yet added support for any of those languages is just that I'm unfamiliar with them, to be honest, as I'd want to make sure they're _fully_ supported, both in terms of translations and corrections. Is there any language in particular you'd like to see added?
Another vote for Chinese! (can't wait to show this to a friend who's working on their English)

#24Did you take inspiration from Luca Lampariello? He's a polyglot YouTuber and has a similar approach, of written translation to and from L1 and L2. That community on YouTube may offer a source of ideas, and potentially even some marketing for you.

#25Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yes, I personally would like to see Chinese and Japanese. I would happily pay for Grammarly-like daily use tool as well, in fact, for Chinese. From what I know, there is no such tool for Chinese language whatsoever.
The service I use for automatic corrections is LanguageTool ( https://languagetool.org/ ), and they support Chinese. It's hard for me to judge the accuracy, but I know that for Spanish it's good at picking up grammar and spelling mistakes.
I just tried very simple inherently wrong Chinese phrase "我学校中文。" and it found no mistakes in it. I expected it at least point to the error or even suggest to correct the second word to become "我学习中文。"

I can't say I'm familiar with him, but I just had a cursory look and his approach looks interesting (and indeed similar in some regards)! Thanks for the recommendation.
