Your app is pretty, but I ran into a few issues.
Being colorblind, I wanted to hover over a sentence option and see the sentence change somehow so I could be sure which ones it was referring to. No guidance is given on how to change these complex sentences.
The first time I tried a suggestion and clicked "omit" I was unable to undo this action.
The grammatical suggestions do not seem to be high quality, and pale in comparison to Grammarly. If I used even half of the suggestions the text would no longer make sense.
It would be nice to walk-through and/or hide specific categories of suggestions.
@tombielecki Hi Tom. Thank you for your feedback. Noted.
Undo works, you just have to click back on the text. We are working on this small bug.
Complex sentences are only up to you how you want to simplify them. Usually, you have to divide them (on average 25 words per sentence is best result).
Grammaryl doesn't do what we do as we have a separate goal. We do not correct "grammatical" errors, we correct writing style mistakes. Hopefully that clarifies it :)
"If I used even half of the suggestions the text would no longer make sense." - that's a bit confusing because I check everything myself. Could you please show me what you are trying to correct and doesn't make sense? Send me an email at eugen(at)shosho.co
Would be glad to assist

I loved this product and I was working on an article last summer. It's been a few months I haven't checked and my work was incomplete. I wanted to go back and continue the work but I found out that the website is down which is worrying. Hope it's not permanently out of service.

@esanueugen did you shut Shosho down without as much as a notice? The website no longer exists.
