Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built Editly because every word counter I tried online either felt cluttered with ads, mis-counted anything that wasn't plain ASCII (emoji, Cyrillic, CJK text all break naive split(' ') counting), or quietly sent my draft to a server I had no reason to trust. So Editly does two things differently: Accuracy first — word/character counting uses Intl.Segmenter, the browser's own Unicode text-segmentation API, instead of regex hacks. It's the difference between "close enough" and actually correct on multi-language or emoji-heavy text. Privacy by architecture, not policy — there's no backend for the text analysis. Everything (word counts, readability scores, keyword density, speaking time) computes in your browser. We can't see your text even if we wanted to — there's no upload code path to see it through. It's grown into 10+ tools beyond the core counter — a two-way words-to-minutes speech calculator, a text diff checker, find & replace with regex, a readability scorer with three formulas, and a few smaller utilities (case converter, slug generator, dedupe, sort lines) that started as "I needed this for my own writing." Everything's free, no account required. Would love feedback — especially if you hit a counting edge case (multi-script text, weird emoji combos, etc.) where the numbers look wrong. That's the kind of bug report that actually makes this better.
