I tried both your tool and style-check on a manuscript, and generally the errors in style-check were more pertinent, with less false positives. TextLint did find a few things style-check didn't, so I'm keeping it around, thanks for writing it :-) I like your web interface, and how you group the warnings in it. Also, a few fixable false positives : - inline math isn't recognized properly. For instance, "$A$ and" complains that it should be an. - "After "a" only words beginning without a vowel are allowed." triggers on "a uniform" Also, for completeness, I think you want shell-quote-argument instead of (format "\"%s\" \"%s\" \"%s\" \"%s\"" ...)
