hi @simplymike
thank you for sharing info about this tool. very interesting one.
Let me suggest something that may help your readers a lot. You should justify your posts.
The difference will be huge. Just like on picture below:
You can find it explained quite well here:

Post is already a bit to old to upvote :(
Yours, Piotr
This is interesting: I would not recommend justifying posts. @crypto.piotr, I'd be interested to know whay you think it would help @simplymike's readers?
From a reading perspective, the eye "expects" the same amount of space between words, and a jagged right margin, which is what happens when you right align text. When I was writing learning materials, it was always a battle with the designers - they wanted to justify everything because they thought it looked better. I had to constantly point out that the materials were to be read so that people could learn. Who won? Anyhow, test it for yourself and see which body of text is easier to read.
I know I'm interrupting a conversation - sorry. A hobby horse of mine ;) Take it or leave it because it's entirely up to you.
Yes. Do Not justify your writing. At least not on page.
you mind telling me why?
cheers, Piotr
Because it strains the reader's eye and many people won't even take the time to read it.

Thank you for your kind comment @fionasfavourites
I wrote my suggestion based on my own personal experience. I found it easier to read justified text. And again, that's only friendly suggestion :)
All the best
Piotr
@crypto.piotr thanks for clarifying, and best to you, too!
Hi again @simplymike
Just checked your profile just to realize that we seem to share a number of interests :)
In particular that we both share a similar passion towards cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology :)
I will follow you closely :) Take care, Piotr
I can tell you that after writing hundreds of articles for several different publications, I've never been asked to justify my writing. They have all asked for AP format.
But if I was paying for a course in College and my professor said to justify the text, that is how I would do it. :)
hi @inalittlewhile
Im sorry for such a late reply. I've been away for a couple of days and just got back. Loads of catching up to do.
I guess you're professional and you know better. I realized that some poeple like it justified and many doesnt. I only shared my personal (not profesional) opinion.
ps.
I've noticed that we share many similar interests so I will be following you closely.
Thx for your comment. Yours, Piotr
Thanks for the tip, @crypto.piotr, but I agree with @fionasfavourites and @inalittlewhile.
Personally, I don’t like to tead justified text. For some reason, it feels unnatural to me
thank you @simplymike for sharing your view on that issue and Im sorry for such a late reply.
yours, Piotr
