My last 2 wishlist posts have focused on how great it would be if we could have a Grammarly editor built into WordPress and a Grammarly comment editor for the various blogging and blog comment platforms. I think these 2 tools would be awesome for webmasters for a wide-variety of reasons.
While I’d love to have these tools provided by Grammarly, I think having a Grammarly API (preferably free 
) would be just as good, if not better, because we’d all be able to mashup Grammarly’s power into just about any web tool. With an API, we’d likely be able to build out that Grammarly WP plug-in that would review pages and posts before submission. We’d also be able to build our own comment editor to ensure comments left on our website are of a high-quality.
APIs are awesome, and they seem to be ubiquitios on the web now. The Mashery is a company that builds APIs for a lot of companies. If you browse their website, you will see a large number of large, name-brand clients that use The Mashery for their website’s API. Companies from Hoovers to Twitter and Facebook offer APIs that spread their tools and data around the web.
How cool would it be to have the beloved Grammarly reviewer used in tools all across the web? I think it’d be really, really awesome. We could build all the tools we talk about in our Wishlists and more. And, furthermore, lots of other smart developers would build cool tools that we could then all use for the betterment of Grammar across the internet. So, lets get this done. Somebody start a petition!
