I've wanted exactly-this for years. I've sketched a few versions but it stayed on the back-burner for me, partly because friends/etc didn't see the appeal.
> The library bundles WordNet (using Oliver Steele's PyWordNet), NLTK, Damian Conway's pluralisation rules, Bermi Ferrer's singularization rules, Jason Wiener's Brill tagger, several algorithms adopted from Michael Granger's Ruby Linguistics module, John Wiseman's implementation of the Regressive Imagery Dictionary, Charles K. Ogden's list of basic English words, and Peter Norvig's spelling corrector.
It was in college and I was learning to code as I went (I was a humanities/lit major). I was using NLTK and some other libraries, piece-wise, but NodeBox Linguistics bundled libraries I couldn't get working/installing right at the time. (I could not afford a Mac so I was working in a Linux VM. Although its GUI is Mac-only, the NodeBox libraries aren't Mac-only. Just noting that for passers-by.)
NodeBox Linguistics proved to be critical-path to the project. And that project was formative for me, so it gives me the warm-fuzzies to encounter NodeBox again. Thank you for sharing it! I should join the forum...

In a Chrome browser on desktop, you can right click and "Copy Link to Highlighted Text". That's the context (hah, pun) where I know it from. It's really useful!
Thank you for posting those two, I wanted to post them but I don't comment often. Wanted to chip in another contemporary: edelvalle/reactor, which is inspired by LiveView[0].
I am using Hotwire for a project, and I'm learning Elixir and Phoenix on the side. Finding edelvalle/reactor was immediately helpful to me though, because I cut my teeth on Python/Django, so reading a Python reference implementation helps me learn nuts and bolts of libraries, faster. (so, I figure that this might help someone else grok how these approaches work.)
GitSense seems very useful. Constructive feedback about the UI: replace the (straggler?) serif font with the sans serif font you're using elsewhere on the page
Thanks for the feedback. I'm the sole founder behind GitSense and to be honest, there are too many stragglers and things I should have done better. It's just that my time is pulled in so many different directions, with the business side of things occupying most of it right now.
Thanks for commenting and yeah I do want to ensure everything is sans serif. I think I get a pass though, since I do have the beta label on the tool :-)
Agreed. I really detest how the word "democratize" got buzzed to death. It's become a zombie marketing term, and it wraps familiar ideology with vague associations of a rallying cry. Better phrasing maybe: it's a zombie marketing term that became a persistent and damaging bit of propaganda/ ideological meme.

I'm really excited to try it out.
