  • Updates6

Readability is a small Obsidian plugin. It analyzes all or part of a document using the Flesch Reading Ease (FRE) formula. Your score appears in the status bar. Look for r9y: (short for readability) in the status bar.

This is a fork of better-word-count. The idea was to build something smaller, more opinionated, and focused on readability metrics.
