Ghost: Grammarly support for the Koenig editor

[SebastianOpperman]

Issue Summary

The Grammarly browser plugin does not work with the Koenig editor.

To Reproduce

Install Grammarly -> chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/grammarly-for-chrome

[kevinansfield]

@SebastianOpperman the Grammerly plugin is purposefully disabled because it does not work well with many editors. The latest update from the Grammarly team wrt to mobiledoc-kit (the underlying technology of our editor) is in this upstream issue https://github.com/bustle/mobiledoc-kit/issues/422. We won't be enabling Grammarly support until their plugin can work without crashing the browser.

@kevinansfield Grammarly now supports Rich Text, maybe it could be possible soon? https://www.grammarly.com/blog/rich-text-formatting-grammarly-editor/

Let's hold thumbs for this Manuel. Grammarly seems to be one of the biggest tools in bloggers toolbelt these days.

Any updates on the matter? I would really love to be able to use it on Ghost.

Grammarly started to supports Google docs too. Is it compatible with Koenig editor now?

Update: I enabled Grammarly in the Koenig editor and it was working fine with very few minor bugs. Don't know if any problem occurs behind the scenes of the editor.

PS:
It is very helpful for non-native English speakers.

@ceodigvijay How did you enable it?

@ceodigvijay How did you enable it?

I deleted data-koenig-dnd-container="true" and data-gramm="false" attribute from the editor through inspect element.
However, I will recommend trying this on localhost until official update arrives. It may have some behind the scenes side effect :>.

I checked that Ghost does not have data-koenig-dnd-container. Is there any workaround to use it with Ghost?

Any updates on this, would love to use grammarly with my ghost blog :)

I tried this and I haven't experienced any issues so far, can we look into this and try to fix this? I think this is very important for non-native English speakers.

@illiteratewriter I've checked and it also works for me. Having Grammarly support is also crucial for me. It would save me copying and pasting the text over and over.

[illiteratewriter]

An update, there are some issues with Koenig and Grammarly. If you enable Grammarly by removing data-gramm="false" and click on "Edit in Grammarly", when you come back the text pasted back is incorrect. Images go missing and markdown gets messed up.

@kevinansfield Could you please re-open the ticket for tracking the support of Grammarly? It feels with the support of Google Docs etc. we're getting closer to having support in Ghost.

As has been explained, multiple times, this is an upstream issue tracked on the mobiledoc repo. If you want to see a fix, then a proof of concept that grammarly now works with mobiledoc is what is required, or a PR showing it working in Ghost.

I'm going to lock this topic until the upstream issue is solved.
