How can I use it to check slack or email messages?

I believe @lukasmwerner is the right person to answer this.

Unfortunately, I do not have a solution for checking slack messages as there is no Chrome extension yet. Email on the other hand is more doable assuming that you are using a terminal based email client.

Simply make sure that you are using neovim as you $EDITOR and make sure that harper is configured in your neovim config with the filetype 'mail'

lspconfig.harper_ls.setup{
    filetypes = {
        'mail',
        ...other languages can go here
    },
}

At that point opening a .eml file should make harper run on email files in your TUI email client of choice.

Is there a Chrome extension in the works or the focus is more on the IDE apps?

[elijah-potter]

At one point I saw someone working on one, but I haven't heard about it since so I'm not sure what state it's in.

As for me, I don't see myself having enough time to get it done anytime soon, so unless someone else is interested in developing something, we're focusing on IDE apps and our API for now.

@elijah-potter Do you know who was working on it/what the repo was? If someone wants to pick it up again, it would probably be useful to look at someone else's attempt.

Personally, I am very interested in the idea, but I don't see myself actually completing such a project 😅

[elijah-potter]

Oh it was quite a while ago. I remember it being in a fork perhaps? I can't seem to find it now, so it's possible they deleted the repo or made it private.

In case someone else comes across this discussion, the current status is here.

I just finished an email treesitter parser and my next step is to integrate it into Harper. So if you are using a text editor (like VS code, Helix, Neovim) that supports LSP, and you have some way of working with raw email (.eml) files, you'll be able to use Harper to lint your emails.

I have a solid workflow for writing emails in Helix thru Thunderbird with some extensions. I'll post about it (maybe add to documentation) once I've added better email support to Harper itself :)
