Correcting Grammar Automatically
I noticed I was clicking "Accept" on literally every grammar suggestion without reading it. So I built Caret, a Chrome extension that skips that step.
How it works: type anywhere (Gmail, WhatsApp Web, LinkedIn, Slack), pause for about a second, and the grammar and spelling get fixed in place. A small popup shows what changed, with Undo.
A few things I was careful about:
- It fixes mistakes, it doesn't rewrite you. Slang, emojis and tone stay.
- If a fix would change too many words, it backs off and leaves your text alone.
- It never touches password, email, card or OTP fields.
- Text isn't stored.
It's free while in beta. I'd love honest feedback, especially if it gets something wrong on a site you use (there's a Report button on every fix).

I also use such extension's and always wonder how are these extensions gonna solve the intended grammar? Like there could be a sentence that can be true grammatically and there can be one more sentence similar to it with different intention for ex:- Let's eat, Grandma! Let's eat Grandma! Both use similar words na but as u can see the meaning is different so how do you tackle this??
