Added **LanguageTool** integration! 🎯

Since this plugin is meant for small phones and older systems, typing (and typos) can be a real pain. So I added support for **LanguageTool** ([https://languagetool.org/](https://languagetool.org/)) to automatically clean up text.

You can use it in a few ways:

- **Public API** (quickest setup)
- **Your own LanguageTool account + API key**
- **Self-hosted LanguageTool** (bring your own endpoint + secret)

Click the little ⭐ and it’ll rewrite the text by fixing everything it detects (spelling, grammar, spacing, etc. depending on your plan or hosting mode…).

“AI but not AI” vibes: it’s smart, but it’s not an LLM writing your post for you.

Cost-wise: **free-ish / rate-limited** depends on whether you use the public API vs self-hosting. Self-hosting = you control limits.

Also: I might refine this into a separate plugin just for LanguageTool support — it’s a pretty solid standalone idea.
