A small subset of people build the majority of the technology in the world. In 2023, it is estimated that there are only 27.7 million software developers worldwide, less than half a percent of the global population. In the US, there are only ~30K computer science graduates each year.

In addition to education, one of the other limitations for software developers is the complexity of their work. A company's tech stack can cost up to $100K and consist of dozens of different tools across the software development lifecycle. Both the cost and complexity limit the capabilities of newer developers who are facing significant hurdles in getting up to speed.

That's where Replit* comes in. Replit is a collaborative integrated development environment (IDE) with the goal of offering the first fully integrated computing environment on top of simple components. Newer developers can more easily get access to the majority of tools they need to build software. By lowering these barriers, Replit can work towards its mission of "bringing the next billion software creators online."

Founding Story

"We used jq-console―repl.it's web terminal plugin-for the first version of Codecademy, and we were blown away by both Amjad and the IDE."

Masad describes the vision for Replit this way:

"Replit will bring the next billion software creators online, and will accelerate the shift towards a world where software and the internet are truly The Great Equalizer. Soon anyone, regardless of place or economic status, will be able to create software and generate wealth on the internet."

Replit's core product is a browser-based integrated development environment (IDE) where users can code, compile, run, and host applications in all programming languages. Replit's goal is to provide the easiest place for beginners to start coding and for more advanced programmers to test and build applications.

The company's name is derived from a REPL which stands for Read-Eval-Print-Loop. More specifically, a REPL is an interactive environment that takes the inputs from the user, executes them, and returns the results back to the user. Masad described the product in a February 2021 blog post this way:

"Every repl created on Replit is a full computer that comes with access to the network, a database, and storage, as well as access to its code and user profiles."

In addition to Replit's IDE, the Replit platform provides a number of capabilities that are meant to encompass everything a software creator would need from beginning to end in building a software application. These features include collaborative multiplayer functionality, deployments, bounties, and AI-enabled code assistance.

Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

Replit also provides an analytics function for every Repl to help Replit users better understand their user bases. With the analytics dashboard, Replit users can understand page views, browsers, traffic referrers, etc.

Multiplayer

Replit is browser-based, rather than locally hosted on a user's machine. This allows users to access the same coding environment simultaneously, similar to Google Docs. Users can see each other interacting with a particular piece of code, but can also share a compute engine so they can run one function and see the same results.

Deployments

Once an application is developed, it needs to be deployed. Some IDEs, like VS Code, have integrations with Azure for cloud computing to deploy applications because both products are owned by Microsoft. However, other IDEs outside of the Microsoft ecosystem typically require users to leverage third-party remote hosts in order to deploy their code.

With Replit, a user can leverage Deployments to reserve a virtual machine that will provide server capacity for their applications and then set up autoscaling for their projects to make sure that their application can scale to meet traffic demand. Replit claims its reservations system ensures 99.9% uptime to avoid any application interruptions. With Replit Deployments, a user can scale the CPU and RAM of their app servers, set up custom domains, monitor their applications, leverage security via Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and run analytics on their applications' usage and growth.

In March 2023, Replit announced a partnership with GCP that would enable Replit users to get access to infrastructure and services from GCP as part of Replit's attempt to enable developers to go from an early idea to a full application in production. As part of the press release, Replit described the capabilities this GCP partnership would provide:

"Powered by Google Cloud Platform, Replit developers can deploy and scale their applications with a few clicks and get Google Cloud's leading reliability, security, and other benefits."

In July 2023, Replit announced several upgrades to Deployments, indicating a 3x increase in speed since the initial launch. The upgrades included additional RAM and CPU capacity, as well as logging functionality built directly into the Deployments pane to better manage both the build process and application performance.

Bounties

As Replit users are building their applications they may sometimes run into a problem that they can't solve on their own. In response, Replit set up a creator marketplace where Replit users can post a bounty where they describe what they need in order to receive submissions from the Replit community who attempt to solve the original problem in exchange for that bounty.

Within Replit's ecosystem, the company leverages Cycles, a virtual token for users to purchase compute power and functionality for their Repls. When a Replit bounty hunter (or, in other words, someone who completes a Replit Bounty) is rewarded, they're rewarded in Cycles. While these Cycles can be used within the Replit ecosystem for things like compute, they can also be cashed out.

Ghostwriter

In September 2022, Replit announced the launch of Ghostwriter, an ML-powered pair programmer that provides code completion, code explanation, a trouble-shooting chatbot, and an in-editor search capability that enables users to identify and import open-source code within the Replit ecosystem. Ghostwriter enables code suggestion and completion not only in the development of source code but also in the process of identifying and debugging errors in a user's code. Amjad Masad, Replit CEO, describes the product this way:

"Chat is often not the best way to interact with AI. Instead, AI should feel like a collaborator in your editor. [Ghostwriter] is natively integrated into your editor while letting you follow up in Chat."

Community

"It's making Replit into an open platform where developers can build plugins, extensions, and entirely new experiences and businesses on the platform. It's collaborative from the ground up, it's extensible, and it's interactive and alive... The future demands that computers and the internet have human interconnectedness as a core primitive. From our multiplayer computing protocol to our community spaces for sharing software, we build support for human beings, and we put collaboration right at the heart of our technology."

Replit has continued to invest in its platform, not only by building out capabilities for community members to more easily engage and collaborate with each other, but also by launching initiatives like Replit Ventures, "a 10-week incubator program designed to give you the mentorship and tools needed to bring your startup to market." Projects like Replit Ventures and enabling community members to invest in Replit directly through a WeFunder campaign signify the company's efforts to more closely involve the community in Replit's progress.

Customers

"Interfaces today present the same UI to vastly different users, from children to adults, from novices to experts. Our mission demands that we make computing environments more accessible to novices while making it possible to transition to more powerful interfaces. Replit starts with a simple editor and console, which gets learners very far. The UI, however, is adaptable and presents different faces to different users and use-cases."

Part of Replit's approach has been to address users across stages of the coding process.

This includes not only functionality at different points but also addressing the needs of very different types of users. For example, since January 2021, Replit has had a specific focus on addressing an international user base, even going as far as to set up data centers in Mumbai and London. Replit's CEO, Amjad Masad, emphasized the importance of these capabilities that would "lower the floor" for Replit users:

"Previously, Replit has been operating out of a single datacenter in the United States. For our friends all over the world it means every time you type a letter, you had to cross an ocean at least twice!"

Replit also wanted to offer its product to a variety of users, regardless of their access to certain types of devices. In October 2022, Replit announced the launch of its mobile app, making coding available to users even if they didn't have a laptop. Even non-technical users in fields like marketing or finance could use Replit to build bots and automate tasks.

However, Replit is also focused on enabling more established developers. In December 2021, Packy McCormick described Replit's product this way:

"As it stands today, a large company couldn't build most of its software in Replit. It's more limited than a local setup including best-in-class point-solutions like Microsoft's VS Code, Github, Heroku, Docker, AWS, npm, and postgres. It's slower. It's not industrial-grade."

Instead, Replit's value proposition to established developers is an all-in-one ecosystem to more easily develop, iterate, and deploy an application. Replit continues to ship products like in-repl devtools and faster repo clones to enable developers to more seamlessly build their applications.

Market Size

"If your IDE is a car, Replit is a motorcycle. If your IDE is a desktop computer, Replit is an iPad. If your IDE is a skyscraper, Replit is a cozy vacation house."

Replit has focused on positioning itself to be a tool for developers, both amateur and experienced, to more easily spin up applications. In some ways, Replit is addressing the entire software development market, estimated at ~$142 billion in 2021. More specifically, Replit is packaging a number of software development tools into one ecosystem. The market for software development tools is expected to grow to over $9 billion by 2027.

Two key drivers behind the addressable market for Replit include (1) an increased demand for software, and (2) a related increase in the number of people who want to build software. However, an open question that may impact the growth of this market is whether generative AI will automate software development entirely, meaning fewer software developers.

In economics, there is a concept called Jevons paradox, with the core idea being that efficient production of a resource (like generative software code) actually increases demand for that resource:

"The Jevons paradox occurs when technological progress or government policy increases the efficiency with which a resource is used (reducing the amount necessary for any one use), but the falling cost of use increases its demand-increasing, rather than reducing, resource use."

So, as generative AI (like Replit Ghostwriter) makes code easier to produce, it could actually increase the demand for software, rather than reduce it. As software becomes easier to develop, because of tools like Replit, that will also likely increase the number of people who want to develop it.

Competition

Replit represents a suite of tools, each with its own competitive dynamics. While some of these tools have integrations with each other, one primary differentiation for Replit is to have all of these tools in one place.

The primary alternative to Replit is Microsoft's VS Code (described below). VS Code is unique among Replit's competitors because the platform has competitive offerings to the majority of Replit's features (e.g. Visual Studio Web Browser compared to Replit's IDE, integrations with Azure compared to Replit Deployments, Visual Studio IntellliCode compared to Replit Ghostwriter).

One key difference that is unique to Replit when compared to most of its competitors is the community dynamic that exists among Replit users. VS Code obviously has a community of users as well that are active on forums, but Replit's concentrated community-centric user base enables capabilities like Replit Bounties, where users can transact to help each other solve problems.

Interactive Development Environment (IDE)

Visual Code Studio (also known as VS Code): Launched by Microsoft in 2015, VS Code has grown to 14 million users. In addition to a local application, VS Code also launched a lighter version of its code editor in October 2021 that runs in the browser. Some estimates indicate that Visual Studio's market share has dropped from ~37% in September 2022 to ~25% as of September 2023.

Eclipse: Eclipse is an open-source IDE developed by the Eclipse Foundation. The product supports 44 languages and has individual desktop and cloud IDEs that can support languages like C/C++, JavaScript/TypeScript, and PHP. Eclipse also offers a number of integrated IDE platforms that offer connections to extensions and tools from the Eclipse Marketplace.

PyCharm: PyCharm is an IDE specifically built for programming in Python, developed by JetBrains which is a company based in Prague with 1.9K employees as September 2023. The product was initially released in 2010. While JetBrains as a whole has 10 million users across its suite of 30 different products, its unclear how many specifically use PyCharm. In particular, Python is a popular language for AI projects. In July 2023, Replit reported that Python was the most popular language in AI development, followed by Javascript.

In addition to these, there are a broad number of other popular IDEs available.

Replit Deployments

AWS, Azure, and GCP: Major cloud providers represent the most common alternative to deploying applications. While these are technically alternatives for users to deploy their own apps, Replit announced a partnership in March 2023 with Google Cloud Platform to provide hosting for Replit users. However, integrations like VS Code with Azure (both of which are owned by Microsoft) represent a competitive threat to Replit.

Replit Ghostwriter

GitHub Copilot: GitHub was acquired by Microsoft in 2018, and subsequently launched GitHub Copilot in June 2021. The pair programmer is trained on OpenAI's Codex model, described as a "descendent of GPT-3." Copilot can be used in IDEs such as Visual Code, Neovim, VS Code, or any JetBrain IDE. In November 2022, a lawsuit was filed against Microsoft, GitHub, and OpenAI claiming that, because Copilot was trained on billions of lines of other people's code available on the internet ( like GitHub repos), it was effectively piracy. Though Microsoft and GitHub had attempted to get the lawsuit thrown out, that effort was dismissed in May 2023. As of September 2023, the lawsuit is still ongoing.

Visual Studio IntelliCode: While GitHub Copilot is also available in Visual Studio and VS Code, in July 2018 Microsoft launched IntelliCode to offer AI-generated code assistance and auto-completion for Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, and Java. Unlike Copilot, which leverages OpenAI's Codex, IntelliCode is powered by "a large-scale transformer model specialized for code usage (GPT-C)." In October 2022, one Visual Studio blog quoted Microsoft documentation that described IntelliCode's infrastructure, but has since been obfuscated:

"IntelliCode recommendations are based on thousands of open source projects on GitHub each with over 100 stars. When combined with the context of your code, the completion list is tailored to promote common practices."

Amazon CodeWhisperer: In June 2022, Amazon announced the launch of CodeWhisperer. Similar to other coding assistants, CodeWhisperer is "based on a large language models (LLMs) trained on billions of lines of code, including Amazon and open-source code."

Cody by Sourcegraph: Cody by Sourcegraph is an AI coding assistant provided by Sourcegraph, a code management platform. Sourcegraph announced the launch of Cody in June 2023. Cody is unique in that, it is not only leveraging a general-purpose LLM for code completion (Anthropic's Claude in this case), but is also training its product on a customer's existing codebase, which Sourcegraph is already helping to manage.

Alternative Competitors

Outside of alternative solutions within Replit's core IDE market, Replit CEO Amjad Masad points to a fairly different subset of companies like Roblox and Minecraft as competitors to Replit. Game creation environments like Roblox and Minecraft let kids use code to build games. Users who develop games on Roblox can monetize their creations for fairly significant money. Although coding in environments such as Roblox is limited to games, it is still a point of competition because young developers are writing their first bits of code or monetizing their work, but not on Replit.

Another lens through which Replit views game creation environments as competitors is the constant battle to win a young person's attention. This is reminiscent of a famous quote from Reed Hastings about Netflix's competition, "We're competing with sleep, on the margin. And so, it's a very large pool of time [and attention]." In a March 2021 interview, Amjad Masad described that competition for attention this way:

"The Replit programmer sits down on their computer and they have limited time and attention span and energy and they could either spend it playing [developing] games [on Roblox] or learning how to make software on Replit, so in that way we're competing for attention."

Business Model

Replit also has additional pricing around Replit Deployments. Within the Hacker and Pro plans, users can get access to a Static Deployment offering that includes 50 GiB of outbound data transfer per month, while pro includes 100 GiB per month across 100 static sites.

Replit's long-term intention is not to push monetization through subscriptions. In November 2020, Replit CEO, Amjad Masad, indicated that the company intends to make its coding environment free for every user, and instead generate revenue from programmers that host and run their applications from the cloud. Today, that vision will likely be executed by pushing for more monetization via Replit Deployments.

Over the course of 2021, Replit doubled its user base from 5 million to 10 million by December and as of April 2023, Replit's user base has grown to 22.5 million users across 200+ countries. These users have contributed to building 235 million projects that collectively have 25 billion monthly external visits to apps and sites hosted on Replit as of April 2023. In July 2023 Replit indicated an 80% quarter-over-quarter growth rate in AI projects on Replit; a 34x increase year-over-year.

Key Opportunities

Compounding a Young, Diverse User Base

"To discover the future, you need a population that will grow up with the technology and partner with you in figuring out where software is heading"

In 2017, just a year after Replit was incorporated, Masad discovered some of Replit's early users were using Replit as their everyday programming tool. Initially, Replit had been intended as a learning environment for newer developers. Instead, Masad realized some users were able to leapfrog a traditional IDE:

"If someone had already learned to code on an online REPL and it serves their needs then why would they want to invest in a local setup? Because they'd started with Replit they need a compelling reason to install an IDE locally and possibly have to invest in buying a more expensive device."

With a large portion of Replit users being younger, and coming from countries outside the U.S. (like the 2 million Replit users in India), there is compounding power as these types of users become a bigger part of the market for software creation. Replit will already be entrenched in these users' workflows and preferences. As they mature and become part of larger companies, they may take Replit with them into more sophisticated developer environments.

Affordability of Access

Many of the users who are benefitting from increased internet and device access are already within Replit's target demographic. As these demographics grow, there is an opportunity for Replit to continue to expand its international penetration.

Programming Education

The demand for software engineering education is unlikely to go away. Software developer employment is projected to grow 21% by 2028, which is faster than the average projected rate of growth for all occupations (5%). In addition to beginning with a focus on education, as of September 2023, Replit provides a product specifically built for educational use cases.

Although Replit does not target schools exclusively, there is a sizable library of public Repls from different users that represents a valuable educational resource. Users can begin with example templates from Replit, or they can fork another user's public Repl to have a base code to build off of. The ability to fork code from other Replit users would fit well with an educational aspect as beginners can see other people's code and apply what they have learned to remix the code.

Issues With Replit's User Community

Although there is value in Replit's younger user base, there is still a risk that more mature developers will start to outgrow Replit's product if it doesn't maintain pace with the needs of sophisticated developers. Replit will have to continue to push advances in its product to maintain pace with these types of users. If Replit is unable to improve the flexibility and power of its coding environment, the goal of growing alongside young users becomes difficult to maintain.

In addition, Replit has already had at least one instance of its user base pushing back against the company's ownership over its own ecosystem. A community of engaged and energetic users can be both a blessing and a curse. Replit will have to continuously maintain the balance of making its community of users feel heard and respected, while also trying to build a product that generates revenue and addresses more established developers.

Regulatory Headwinds For Generative AI

After the launch of GitHub Copilot in June 2021, GitHub, as well as parent company Microsoft, and AI partner OpenAI, are all the targets of a lawsuit "alleging Copilot regurgitates licensed code without giving credit to creators." If the lawsuit results in an unfavorable decision against code assistants, like Copilot, that could have negative ramifications for Replit Ghostwriter.

As of September 2023, Microsoft has indicated that, if any users of GitHub Copilot face legal action, they can turn to the company, and Microsoft will "assume legal responsibility." While this could potentially limit the concerns of users of Copilot, the same may not be true of smaller companies like Replit. Replit may not be able to bear the burden of legal action against Ghostwriter users.

Limitations of Generative AI

With the launch of Ghostwriter Chat, Replit has indicated significant adoption of the code assistant solution:

"Ghostwriter Chat is the next phase of AI-assisted programming, helping you go from idea to product even faster. Recent studies show that conversational generated code suggestions are accepted +50% of the time, and +75% of people had a positive experience with conversational AI."

However, despite the cited positive experiences, there are still some users who indicate that generative AI tools like Ghostwriter or GitHub Copilot have significant mistakes. Those same users indicate that these types of tools produce code that is "generally flawed and requires a thorough review." So while Replit Ghostwriter can be a powerful assistant for software creators, if the performance of these generative models does not improve it may ultimately create a more negative user experience.

Evolving Competitive Landscape

While Replit experienced some first-mover advantage in providing a browser-based IDE, there is still a lot that competitive products have done to keep up. Products like Microsoft's VS Code have launched a number of competitive offerings to the majority of Replit's features (e.g. Visual Studio Web Browser compared to Replit's IDE, integrations with Azure compared to Replit Deployments, Visual Studio IntellliCode compared to Replit Ghostwriter).

Replit incorporated as a business in 2016 to provide an all-in-one development environment that was browser-based and collaborative. Since then, the company has grown to 22.5 million users and products that extend outside coding to include application deployment, generative AI, and community-based bounties.

A large portion of Replit's user base consists of newer software creators. In addition to its existing customer base, Replit also continues to launch new products that appeal to more established developers in order to provide one environment where users can take a project from code to deployed application.

As the need for software development continues to increase, Replit will have to traverse a competitive landscape of alternative solutions from large companies such as Microsoft. The company's early efforts to drive user adoption have paid off, but the ability to maintain a competitive advantage will require a continued expansion of the product portfolio, all while keeping the learning curve of the product low enough for each new generation of potential users.

Ofrece cursos interactivos para aprender una amplia variedad de lenguajes de programación, desde los básicos como HTML y CSS hasta lenguajes más avanzados como Python y JavaScript.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Codecademy is the premier online educational platform that offers free coding classes in different programming languages such as Python, PHP, jQuery, JavaScript, and Ruby, as well as Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and markup languages including HTML and CSS. Founded in 2011 by Zach Sims and Ryan Bubinski, the innovative platform has quickly expanded to encompass over 24 million users who have collectively submitted several billions of lines of code. Codecademy sees its mission as nothing less than changing the future of education, addressing the need for computer programmers and the lack of the discipline in current curricula with an easily accessible platform that everyone can use.

Pentagram has developed a comprehensive new identity system for Codecademy and the user interface for the platform's redesigned website, which launched earlier this week. Inspired by coding, the identity has been conceived as an adaptive kit of parts that can be extended as the company grows and establishes partnerships with other organizations. The designers worked closely with the Codecademy co-founders and lead designer Manuel Lima on the program.

"Codecademy is a business we've built to help everyone in the world learn the skills they need to make things and find jobs," says Zach Sims. "We think our new look will make Codecademy's impact even greater for the millions of people who have already started learning on the platform, as well as future users who want to code."

Codecademy's reach is extensive and has rapidly grown: the site attracted an astonishing 200,000 users in the first seven days following its launch in 2011, and its current 24 million aspiring programmers represent a remarkably wide demographic that is evenly split between male and female, and the very young and the old, something that is unusual in the heavily young, male tech sector. A major factor in the platform's popularity is its sense of community. Each aspiring programmer has his or her own profile, and to motivate users to participate, the site offers feedback and badges for completing exercises, as well as a function that keeps track of a user's total score and total day streak, and displays it to others.

The new brand identity establishes a uniform visual language that creates a sense of continuity across Codecademy's wide range of training and activities. Open and adaptable, the identity is an umbrella that can be modified to represent different sections and sub-brands and expanded as Codecademy grows. The cohesive strategy enhances the usability of the platform and presents Codecademy as a mature, sophisticated organization on par with the major corporations, agencies and institutions it has entered into partnerships with, including the White House, YouTube, Twitter, New York University, NPR, SoundCloud, Gilt, and many others.

The original wordmark was set in the Google font Lobster, originally selected because the founders noticed that most other social platforms were using script fonts at the time and thought it would help their company fit in. Now suffering from overuse, the font made the Codecademy identity seem generic and sophmoric-the company looked like a startup.

The new wordmark is constructed of two distinct parts that convey Codecademy's core values. Inspired by programming cues, the word "code" has been highlighted in a frame or field that sets off what the platform is all about. The frame can also be used to hold iconography, programming symbols, or other typography. At the same time, the second "c" is underlined like a cursor, suggesting a sense of open-ended possibility and change, as well as evaluation and exploration. The "cademy" is an educational anchor for whatever is placed before it.

"We love how the identity pairs programming cues (the [code]) while emphasizing the company's name as Codecademy," says Sims.

The font FF DIN Rounded was chosen for its easy readability and modern look and feel. The new wordmark is set in CoDIN, a modified version of DIN Next that we customized with cuts to the letterforms. The primary typeface for the identity program is FF DIN Rounded Light, with DIN Rounded Regular used as the secondary font.

Codecademy's user experience focuses on programming lessons as a series of challenges. The designers created iconography for the various programming languages and the badges that users are rewarded when they complete a challenge. The icons utilize characteristics from DIN, connecting the symbols to the identity. We also established a distinctive palette for the site in contemporary hues of blue, mint, red and grey.

The new user interface is designed as a kit of parts that has been applied across the platform for a consistent experience. Clean and minimal, the modular system uses the structure of a regimented grid to tie together the various elements. A UI toolkit and style guide was built for every element on the site, including headers, footers, form fields, button styles, sign up modules and other interactions.

The grid system is organized around a system of graphic "cards" that display user profiles, goals and programming languages. The user profiles display badges for completed languages and exercises, along with progress bars that show the percentage of completion on current goals. Engaging and easy to understand, the interface encourages users to share their experiences with each other and helps build a sense of community and collective accomplishment.

"Codecademy was started several years ago to help anyone learn the skills they need to succeed in today's digital world," says Sims. "We think the new identity maintains our sense of approachability while helping to bring together all the work we've done over the years with organizations like The White House and Twitter-it's the perfect match of accessibility, ease of use, and fun in learning."

Have you ever crafted a long sentence that looked amazing to you, but confused your readers? We all have, I'm sure. And if those kinds of flowery lines of prose are gumming up your writing, the Hemingway Editor may be the tool you need.

The Hemingway Editor applies Ernest Hemingway's style to improve your writing.

"There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed."
Ernest Hemingway

What Is Hemingway Editor?

The Hemingway Editor is a writing analyzer app for writing and revising your work. The app gives notes and warnings that help you write more like Ernest Hemingway (minus the bleeding; I hope). What sets the Hemingway editor apart is the focus on improving style.

Let's have a look at the editor using the web version (we'll compare the browser app and desktop app a little later).

I've used my favorite guinea pig story, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

To get started, I pasted in the text. And as you can see, Hemingway Editor immediately noted a variety of potential edits.

Before we dive into examining how the editor works, let's look at Hemingway Editor as a writing tool. Because it is, in fact, a decent online writing app.

When you click the 'Write' button on the upper right side, it hides all the highlights. You're left with a clean, distraction-free writing screen.

A couple of things to note about the writer; you'll see the red underlines. Yup, Grammarly's Chrome plugin works with Hemingway Editor, meaning you can check spelling right inside the app. The one major downside I found with using the app to write is that it slows down as your document gets longer. My biggest complaint; there is no dark mode.

Otherwise, it's a good writing tool with standard formatting options.

Style Editor and Suggested Edits

Once you're done writing, the Edit mode gives guidance to improve your work. The Hemingway Editor targets 5 aspects of your writing to offer advice:

Passive Voice

Adverbs/Weak Words

Simple Words/Phrasing

Difficult Sentences

Very Difficult Sentences

The Editor uses color-coded highlighting to show you where you can improve. The total number of suggested improvements appears in the sidebar:

Blue Edits

Words or phrases highlighted in blue show weak words, generally adverbs. Most writing doesn't need any words to modify verbs. Removing or improving your weak words will make the writing that much stronger.

Hemingway Editor has exceptional inline suggestions for adverbs too. I particularly love that the suggestion most often seen for adverbs is 'omit.' As we all know, adverbs are a mistake 99 times out of 100.

Green Edits

The green edits show passive-voice sentences. Passive writing tends to be longer and less impactful. For example, consider this sentence from Alice:

She took down a jar from one of the shelves as she passed; it was labeled 'ORANGE MARMALADE', but to her great disappointment, it was empty.

Now let's rewrite it with an active voice:

She took down a jar labeled 'ORANGE MARMALADE.' Empty, to her great disappointment.

My edit isn't the best revision either. But it shows how much tighter the simple sentence can be.

Purple Edits

Suggestions in purple show a complex word with a simpler alternative. The purple edits are the most Hemingway-esque of all the suggestions you'll see. The goal is to make your writing simple and understandable.

Purple edits suggest edits inline, just like blue edits. You'll have to scrutinize these ones. In the example above, replacing 'shall' with 'must' or 'will' simplifies the sentence. But the line is dialog, so we need to tread carefully. Using 'shall' here might be a choice to illuminate the character.

Yellow Edits

Yellow highlights will pick out entire sentences the Hemingway app finds hard to read. These suggestions are helpful in finding long or arduous sentences. You'll often see some purple highlights in difficult sentences too; suggesting that part of the problem may be the complexity of the sentence and not just the length.

I think yellow edits are the ones most easily ignored. A difficult sentence isn't always a problem. It's still helpful to be aware of any sentence that might be hard for readers to understand.

Red Edits

Finally, Hemingway Editor shows you very difficult-to-read sentences. From my testing, these sentences are almost always long, run-on monstrosities that should be at least two or more individual sentences.

You should look to finish your Hemingway App edits with ZERO red marks. These are the most complex and problematic sentences. Even if you don't ascribe to Hemingway's 'simple' style, lines marked in red are probably going to confuse at least some readers.

Readability Score

Aside from the five highlighted suggestions, Hemingway Editor gives a readability score. The score is based on the Flesch-Kincaid readability formula. The formula uses grade levels based on US school system grading to tell you how 'readable' your writing is.

You'll find this score in the sidebar, above the summary of highlighted sections.

The app aims for a Grade 5 or 6 level - the reading level most readers prefer. The rest of the information is basic data almost all word processors can offer. But the readability grade is a nice, quick way to see how your writing stacks up to the reader's expectations.

Defining Hemingway's Style

You can find lots (and lots) of articles and books about how Hemingway wrote. One blogger wrote a great piece about Hemingway's style and how/when to use it. I think you can break down the style into three focal points:

Simplicity - Simplicity means never using a complex word when a simple one will do. Simplicity is aiming to use shorter words. Single-syllable words create a cadence or rhythm for the reader that can be very hard to break away from.

Positivity - Hemingway avoids telling you what isn't happening and instead focuses on what is. The unspoken negatives create mystery, but they also make the reading experience less boring and easier to read.

Concision - A brief sentence always beats a long one. Say what you mean, say it precisely, and say it quickly.

Hemingway's style lends itself well to blogs and journalism. For authors, that might mean the Hemingway Editor is best as a passive voice checker or to search for adverbs-but not ideal as the sole editing tool for your manuscript.

Hemingway App: Paid Versus Free

The web-based editor is 100% free to use. The only real downside of the free version is that you'll need to copy/paste your writing to get it out of the app. The free Hemingway app isn't a true word processor, so you won't be able to import or export.

If you're writing blogs or other short content, that probably isn't a big deal.

Now the paid version (at a one-time cost of $19.99 for Mac and PC options) includes import/export and saving your work locally. So if you're an author and you want to use Hemingway Editor for a book, it's worth considering a purchase.

Hemingway App Versus Grammarly

I can't talk about AI-based editing without mentioning Grammarly and ProWritingAid.

For the most part, I like Grammarly for spelling and usage; two things Hemingway Editor doesn't help with. The two apps don't even really bear comparing, as they actually work great together.

Grammarly's paid version offers similar suggestions to Hemingway, but the Grammarly tool gives broad editing advice. Hemingway Editor very much wants to help you write like Hemingway.

Hemingway App Versus ProWritingAid

Like Grammarly, ProWritingAid works in the Hemingway App's web editor. The comparison here is a little closer though, as ProWritingAid helps with many of the edits Hemingway will call out.

And like Grammarly, I enjoy using the two in tandem. ProWritingAid is great at sentence structure, helping break up those difficult-to-read sentences Hemingway Editor will call out.

Is Hemingway Editor Worth Using?

Many of the edits Hemingway Editor calls out appear when using either Grammarly or ProWritingAid (though you'd need the paid version of both to get the depth Hemingway offers). Since the editor is available for free (and reasonably priced for the desktop app), there's no reason not to use Hemingway Editor.

Here comes the except...

Except not all writers want to write like Hemingway. While the man was an important literary figure, his style is rigid and not right for everyone. Consider my example of Alice in Wonderland. It's only 27,000 words (most novels are 70,000+ words) and Hemingway Editor found 432 adverbs. That's a lot.

And there were plenty of difficult sentences too, 343 out of 1767, or about 20% of the total.

Because Lewis Carroll writes differently. His sentences are longer and more challenging. More flowery, if you will. Carroll doesn't want to write like Hemingway. You might not either. And that's fine.

Final Thoughts

The Hemingway app is free, so there's no reason not to use it. But like all AI-powered editors, it's no replacement for an actual person proofing your work. Most writing benefits from simplicity, positivity, and concision. So I recommend the Hemingway app for all writers.

And yes, that includes this article. Here's my score from the first draft versus the published version:

For a blog post, I improved the content. The five areas all are within acceptable limits, the readability score came down a grade, and I shaved a little off the total reading time.

Overall, Hemingway Editor is useful but with limitations. It's an excellent tool for finessing your sentences. But for a piece of fiction, it may do more harm than help. So use it with an eye toward your goals and an understanding that Hemingway, while a skilled writer, wasn't perfect.
