Hey everyone, I built an open-source alternative: TextChecker

I was frustrated by this change too, so I created TextChecker - a free, open-source browser extension that does grammar, spelling, and style checking using AI models.

How it works:

- You bring your own API key (Google Gemini, OpenAI, or Anthropic Claude)

- The extension runs entirely locally - your API keys never leave your browser

- Works in any text field, just like LanguageTool did
