New favourite VS Code extension: LTeX (marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName) Checks spelling and grammar in markdown files. But if you turn on the “enable picky rules” setting it also highlights passive voice and clunky sentences for you 💯 Essential for anyone writing essays in markdown

thanks for the link! after trying LTeX it gave tons of false positives and didn't catch two grammatical errors. this one also gives a lot of false positives but seems a bit better, and caught one of the errors LTeX failed to. also it works with MDX grammar 😁
