Every now and again, I like to post well-written topics. I have an idea or a position I want to express, and I want it to come across clearly, albeit in a way that invites discussions. To do this, I like to use [HemingwayApp](http://www.hemingwayapp.com/), which parses the text and highlights issues with style (not grammar or punctuation).

Leaving aside license or portability issues, I’m going to assume that there is some javascript magic that can be done in Discourse to help improve the quality of the prose. I don’t know, something like [https://www.npmjs.com/package/write-good](https://www.npmjs.com/package/write-good) ?

I’ve done a quick search on this forum to see if anyone else has proposed similar plugins before, but I came up empty. Perhaps this is not widely needed, or is done in some other way ? Enlighten me, please.
