Grammar checking for writers is very important.

I would definitely like the ability to use Grammarly with Dabble: I think that it's an invaluable piece of software that would work really well with the Dabble interface and would help keep users sticking with one software (i.e. yours) rather than having to switch between multiple.

I fully second Hannah's comment. It's one of the things I hate the most is to have to hop from one app to the other for different functions. Plus the time wasted back and forth. If only I could find all I need in one place... (something looking like Dabble but with all the features of Scrivener, Reedsy, Aeon 2 timeline, Word, Grammarly...)

Grammarly is life for a writer! I agree with Hannah and Nina!

Grammarly already works on your site. You may be able to get them to let you put it into the Dabble portion?

I want to be able to do all my writing in one place. I don't want to have to use multiple applications and software.

This would be very helpful or allow Grammarly to be used.

Yes. It would.

I would specifically request that we be able to use the Grammarly web editor with Dabble. The awesome thing about Grammarly, is that there are so many grammar checkers out there that are just not as good at the moment. I admit to being prejudiced. But that means I'm not really interested in using Word's grammar editor or something similar. I'm just not at all a fan of the Word grammar editor. If I can use Grammarly to edit this paragraph here, why can't I use it in my Dabble scenes? Please?

Also ProWritingAid. I imagine if The Grammarly item worked then the other would as well. Pro tip: I notice that ProWriting aid is working with this text box. If that helps narrow it down to what would need to be done.

Do we know when a grammar option will be implemented?

The grammar options is already implemented! Go into preferences to turn it on.

"ProWritingAid" (suggested by Steve Lyons on 2020-11-20), including upvotes (1) and comments (0), was merged into this suggestion.

Steve, the grammar checking built into Dabble uses ProWritingAid as the engine. There is a setting in Preferences to turn it on and off. To use the full power of a PWA subscription (I have one also), you need to export and import it into the PWA web site. Integrating PWA into an application like Dabble isn't easy and PWA doesn't make all the functionality available.
