3 Grammarly desktop alternatives — Chris Chinchilla

Much like "googling" has become a generic term for searching, Grammarly has become almost synonymous with a general grammar and style checker, outside of those provided by tools like Word or Google Docs. I have used the pro version for several years, and while its advice is not always correct and inconsistent, it's generally a good aid in giving ideas and pointers for writing. However, every year, that subscription comes up for renewal, and I start thinking about alternatives and features I'd like to have that Grammarly doesn't offer. In this post, I look at the disappointingly few alternatives that exist.

CLI Engineer @ Supabase

Supabase is the Postgres development platform, built by developers for developers. We provide a complete backend solution including Database, Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, Realtime, and Vector Search. All services are deeply integrated and designed for growth. We’re looking for a CLI Engineer to join our Dev Workflow team and help build a world class local development experience. You’ll work closely with our customers, product teams, and OSS community, helping us deliver a consistent, secure, and performant CLI tool across Windows, Linux, and macOS. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in async, fast-paced environments and is excited about building developer tools that scale to millions. WHAT YOU’LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR In this role, you’ll: - Design and develop CLI tools in Golang that are consistent, secure, and performant across Windows, Linux, and macOS. - Collaborate with product teams to define CLI functionality and refine usability across the entire Supabase local development stack. - Implement unit, integration, and end-to-end tests to ensure high reliability and maintainability. - Create detailed documentation and help content for end-users and developers. - Manage releases, versioning, and backwards compatibility of Supabase CLI. - Monitor usage, gather feedback from customers, and work with the open source community to continuously improve on the CLI experience. YOU MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT IF YOU - Have Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience. - Have 5+ years of experience in software development with a focus on command-line tools. - Are proficient in one or more programming languages commonly used for CLI development (e.g., Go, Rust, Python, Node.js, C++). - Have deep understanding of cross-platform development concerns, including filesystem access, subprocess management, terminal handling, and platform-specific quirks. - Are familiar with package distribution and installation mechanisms (e.g., npm, yarn, Homebrew, APT, Snap, Scoop, Chocolatey). - Are passionate about building CLIs with a strong user experience (intuitive command structure, clear output, good error messaging). - Have experience with Git and CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment. - Have experience with containerization and orchestration (e.g., Docker, k8s). - Are familiar with database migration management and Postgres line protocol. WHAT WE OFFER - Fully Remote We hire globally. We believe you can do your best work from anywhere. There are no Supabase offices, but we provide a WeWork membership or co-working allowance you can use anywhere in the world. - ESOP Every team member receives ESOP (equity ownership) in the company. We want everyone to share in the upside of what we’re building together. - Tech Allowance Use this budget to set up your ideal work environment—laptop, monitor, headphones, or whatever helps you do your best work. - Health Benefits Supabase covers 100% of health insurance for employees and 80% for dependents, wherever you are. Your wellbeing and your family’s health are important to us. - Annual Off-Sites Once a year, the entire company gathers in a new city for a week of connection, collaboration, and fun. It’s a highlight of our year. - Flexible Work We operate asynchronously and trust you to manage your own time. You know what needs to be done and when. - Professional Development Every team member receives an annual education allowance to spend on learning—courses, books, conferences, or anything that supports your growth. ABOUT THE TEAM Supabase was born-remote and open-source-first. We believe our globally distributed team is our secret weapon in building tools developers love. - 180+ team members - 40+ countries - 15+ languages spoken - $496M raised - 430,000+ community members - 30,000+ memes posted (and counting) We move fast, build in public, and use what we ship. If it’s in your project, we probably use it in ours too. We believe deeply in the open-source ecosystem and strive to support—not replace—existing tools and communities. HIRING PROCESS We keep things simple, async-friendly, and respectful of your time: 1. Apply – Our team will review your application. 2. Intro Call – A short video chat to get to know each other. 3. Interviews – Up to four calls with: - Founders - Future teammates - Someone cross-functional from product, growth, or engineering (depending on the role) 4. Decision – We may follow up with a final question or go straight to offer. All communication is remote and we aim to move fast.
