Now that Prowritingaid Everywhere for Mac has been released, is there any possibility of it working in DT in the future?
I actually love doing my writing in DT.
That seems to be an English-only tool. Not much use for people working in other languages, I think. There’s, for example, Language Tool that works with several languages (and doesn’t interfere with my writing style as Prowritingaid seems to do).
Okay thanks. I have a lifetime license and use it frequently.
You’re welcome!
PS: Sorry for the mini-rant! It just galls me how companies do that nowadays. Call it affordable but don’t call it free. And sure the download is free but that’s not what people will think as what’s the point of a free but unused download?? And unless someone is a toddler, exceeding 500 words in a day is a given.… sigh.

I can’t argue that at all, but I dearly adore PWA. It ranks right up there with DT as one of my live or die apps 
Newbie to DT but long-time PWA user. Originally, I planned to use DT only for the classic financial record tracking, but hadn’t realized its other capabilities. My long-form writing is in Scrivener and I don’t see that changing, but I’ve never found a tool I really like for tracking marketing: blog posts, social media posts, social media advertising, etc. I’ve had it in Scrivener, Obsidian, Notion, but loved none.
Ah, but DT seems to have such potential. Markdown + tags + groups + custom metadata - Yes, oh yes. But how to get it to work with ProWritingAid? (Which is how I found this thread).
My inelegant solution? Copy/Paste. Not as bad as it sounds. I draft in DT. CMD-A / CMD-C over to PWA’s website. Process. CMD-A / CMD-C back over to DT and overwrite my original draft.
Weird bonus? PWA automatically adds the double return to create the blank line between paragraphs in markdown. Because I type in Scrivener most of the day, I forget that detail. (Markdown purest will not consider that a feature).

Welcome @dkwall
Thanks for you nice comments and sharing your experience with both apps.
Thanks, good idea! I love both these two programs and this is a doable workaround.
