How does Linguix treat user's data? Can you share a bit about user privacy and whether our writing data is collected in any way?

@samlinville Sam, everything is simple. When you use our extensions or apps your content is sent to our server for running checks and is not held there longer than needed to generate corrections. The only exception is the web app, where you can store your documents and organize them in folders. But we also do have a secret mode there. All data is encrypted, we do not sell or rent them, no such things.
Congrats on the launch! It looks like a very nice way to realize what mistakes you can often make. So how does it work to spot your mistakes when you're just browsing the web?
@rubenwolff when you are browsing you can use our Definitions feature to check definitions of words you don't know. Soon, we will add vocabulary based training sessions based on that. So you will train words you need, not the ones someone finds confusing. And your writing fuels the grammar and style-related skill improvement sessions.
@manav_sharma1 Thanks Manav, it's been a long day and we are happy to receive this amount of support!
@shashcoffe Alexey, thanks for your amazing support! I did not realize how many supporters we really have. 🤪 Now, we need to get back to work and improve Linguix every day!
Hey guys, good job! Congrats on your launch! I hope you'll get 1-st place today.
I'm a huge fan and daily user of Grammarly. I’ve never heard about of Linguix.com before.
I like that there are alternatives to Grammarly.
I wrote this comment with Linguix for Safari but it says that the text is a bit too long. And when I signed up with Google, there's nothing has changed.
So what's the key difference with Grammarly?
@shashcoffe Alexey, I think, there are some limits on texts checked with no account created. For the key difference: we aim at non-native English speakers and natives that would like to improve their skills.
So, we offer a bunch of features Grammarly does not have:
- Intelligent shortcuts for faster typing (previously snippets) and AI-based on-demand rephrasing.
- Writing Coach that will help you to boost writing and language skills based on your mistake (stop just clicking Accept for all corrections, eliminate the roots of your mistakes!)
- Vocabulary enhancement features. With Linguix, you get help not only when writing, but reading as well - for eg. you can lookup complex words definitions when reading online.
Hope this helps!
P.S. Some of your innovations is already copied by competitors you've mentioned! And this is what makes me proud.
I have replaced Grammarly with Linguix. This app works well and does the job of correcting my grammar, not just my spelling mistakes.
@a_6 Anya, we are active in terms of marketing, pushing content, working on SEO, running review campaigns and building our affiliate program. We also had some experiments with paid ads. For the money side, our net revenue in July 2021 is 626% higher than it was 12 months ago
Linguix is and has been one of the few Grammar checkers which can give competition to Grammarly. This feature adds to an already Excellent feature set making it better.
Oh, my Grammarly premium just expired (perhaps you can tell haha). And I'm not sure if I'll bother rejoining. Life by subscription adds up after a while.
@alexlashkov You mention that you've got a bunch of features Grammarly doesn't have. But does that mean you have feature parity i.e. what is it missing? I'm not saying I personally want feature parity, just curious.
The one thing that bothers me about Grammarly is it masks bad writing habits. I like it for long-form writing but half the time I simply want to get whatever the thing is done, rather than go through a bucket load of corrections—often minor.
Now, I could probably adjust the settings based on context. However, that's work and I don't think it has context options other than the basics settings. For example, I might care more about website copy and company-wide/external emails than say something informal over text or Slack. That said, if a writing product actually improved my writing then context wouldn't matter so much, that "bucket load of corrections" would shrink over time!
Indeed truly great products remove friction, rather than redistribute it.
Seem like this is more about dissolving writing problems at the source. Best of luck with the launch.

Meanwhile...apparently, I've 13 advanced Grammarly edits I'm missing out on 😂
@lynnastyie I'd think we somewhat have feature parity as they don't have some features like shortcuts, writing coach, definitions, and there are still some things we do not have yet like tone detector. You can try and decide yourself!
