Add LanguageTool (a fantastic spelling and grammar checker)
LanguageTool is a multilingual spelling, style, and grammar checker that helps correct or paraphrase texts.
On Chromium/Firefox an extension https://languagetool.org/ is available, and it can be integrated into this app.
@jijojosephk Yes, but the native spell checker is only a basic syntax-based spell checker. LanguageTool is really more powerful. It can :
- dynamically autodetect the language.
- perform grammar check
- ... and other useful features
You can test the Firefox/Chrome browser extension :)
@emericv Maintaining it will be difficult because it's only available as chrome extension.
It has licensing. That can create problems in the future. We must see their license agreement.

@jijojosephk I understand this.
I better idea is probably a generic way to add features like this as a plugin in all Electron-based applications…
I had a look at adding support for plugging (like in chrome) but I didn't get far with it. Electron was limiting what sort of plugging you could connect a lot (in functionality and support). But that was a few electron versions ago.
If you or anyone have the time to have a look, that would be great.

@jijojosephk I found this : https://github.com/ramboxapp/electron-chrome-extensions
If I can add my extension manually to the Teams app, This solves my case :)
That is the one I tried 1st but, as for their documentation "However, it only supports a subset of APIs with a focus on DevTools. Concepts like tabs, popups, and extension actions aren't known to Electron."

JS library is not present. So only way is extension which is not fully supported in electron. @emericv I don't see this moving forward.
