Submit package to Melpa

Making the package available on Melpa would make it easier to install on Emacs.

Yeah, that would be nice, at the moment I don't have time to learn how to do it ;-) @larstvei do you know how to do it and you are willing to do it?

Sure!

I'll wait until we resolve #4 though. I'll let you know when it's done so that you can update the README, and maybe add a release so that it's available on melpa stable.

@larstvei are we ready to go? Can you do it? :-) I have no idea how ;-)

I'll give it a go as soon as I find the time 👍

Hi! I was in the process of adding it but realized that the name emacs-grammarly is perhaps not ideal. For one, prefixing the name with emacs is not really a nice package name (very few other packages has emacs in the name). Another thing is that the name should mention osx, so that people won't be surprised when the package only works on os x.

A similar issue: melpa/melpa#2984

I'm thinking it is best to do a name change before adding it to melpa. My suggestion would be send-to-osx-grammarly. It requires that the .el file is renamed as well (to send-to-osx-grammarly.el if you choose to go for that name).

I also suggest you add a copyright and license to the .el file before submitting, you can find an example here. Lastly, you should check out what they'll look for before accepting.
