Grammarly has a popup bubble that appears while you are writing and every time you close it, it comes right back. It is distracting, it gets in the way, and sometimes it covers the exact text you are trying to work on. If it is going to exist at all it needs a fixed position that stays out of the way regardless of what page you are on. That is a basic user experience problem that should have been solved a long time ago.
That said, I will be honest about where I stand with Grammarly overall. I do not really use it anymore. With AI tools now handling the heavy lifting on editing, proofreading, and content review, a standalone grammar checker feels redundant in my workflow. I run my posts through Claude and that covers everything Grammarly was doing and then some.
I do not think Grammarly is a bad tool. For people who have not fully moved into the AI writing space yet it still serves a purpose and I am sure they are building more AI into their own product as we speak. But for me personally it has outlived its usefulness. The landscape shifted and my workflow shifted with it.
If you are still getting value out of Grammarly, that is completely valid. But if you have been sleeping on what current AI tools can do for your writing, it might be worth taking another look at what is available now. The gap between where things were and where they are today is significant.
