v0.1.0
Hemingway tells you where your writing is hard. FralRater tells you who it's too hard for — and shows you the fix.
FralRater is a 100% offline desktop app that scores your text for specific
readers, maps exactly where readers get lost, and rewrites the hard parts —
all locally, with zero network calls and no AI. Your text never leaves your
machine.
What's in 0.1.0
- Analyze — Flesch-Kincaid grade, reading ease, Gunning fog, SMOG,
jargon count + per-100-word density, long-sentence & passive-voice
ratios, hard-word percentage - Audience — fit scores for 8 reader personas (child, general public,
professional, executive, patient, developer, legal, academic) with
per-paragraph confidence bars - Lost Reader map — difficulty curve showing exactly where sentences
get hard - Rhythm heatmap — monotonous / choppy / varied sentence-length patterns
- Actionability — does the text tell the reader what to do next?
- Accessibility — flags jargon-heavy and passive-heavy text
- Rewrite — offline rule-based rewriting: passive-voice flip,
buried-lead fix, jargon swaps, sentence splitting, sentence-by-sentence
diff, and Before/After grade cards - Compare — two-version radar chart + head-to-head metric table
- Standalone desktop window (Electron) with right-click Cut/Copy/Paste
