Excellent tool, very useful for obtaining data about the content I publish. I've always strived to improve my content, and even though I mostly share movie and anime reviews, I like to give my all in each post.
That's why I love seeing charts like this one about the readability of my posts, and I'm surprised that most of them are at the Post-Graduate level. Just change to Professional or University with posts that don't fit my main niche.
I always try to be as informal as possible in my reviews, but I also don't like to write half-heartedly or in such a blatant way. I also worry a lot about spelling mistakes and punctuation marks. I guess this tool takes all of this and more into account when making these calculations.
I'm also fascinated by the fact that there's a graph for readings, so I can finally see a reliable number of reads for each of my posts. I've always been concerned about this with my posts, and I didn't know if trust the views that Ecency or PeakD show on posts. Blog Fronts on Hive usually seem to pay no attention to these details. It's great that this tool does.
Excellent work, really.
There is an oversight I am trying to work on at the moment that this scoring mechanism does not yet ignore URLs or Markdown Syntax for images, so once that is fixed, it may change the results.
This won't show the number of reads, but it will show the skill level that a reader would need to understand the post.
Oh, I understand... Well, I hope this problem is resolved soon. I want to see what results I get.
And yes, you're right, I just realized that what I was showing before was the readability and not the readings of the posts themselves. A small misunderstanding on my part. 😅
That's okay. I have fixed the design oversight I made, and you can rerun in a few minutes and it should see a different result, as URLs / Markdown syntax were making the writing "more complicated" than it actually is. :)
I fixed the issue I spoke about in my other comment, I reran your account:
I just confirmed it. That's a good result, isn't it? Post-Graduate and University studies sound like something I'm not, to be honest. 😅
I'm barely a mid-level computer technician and I didn't last long at university. But hey, I've always been concerned about improving my writing and that's not bad.
I did post-graduate study and always try to use the simplest language I can, but I have a vocabulary and I use it a lot!
I guess the vocabulary issue is another reason for me to get those results. I'm not much of a book reader, nor do I consider myself very studious, but I take great care with what I write and how I write it, even in informal conversations. I also try not to forget to put a period or a comma where it always belongs.
Is English your mother tongue? A lot of people who didn't grow up with it are better writers than native English speakers / writers. I can only speak English, and a few programming languages, very poorly :P
But, I always like to say, that no matter what language we speak today, the first language that we all spoke were the cries, shrieks and noise we made as infants.
