Fun tool - maybe, but spellr.us has been created not just to 'spell check your website' but to make keeping your site free of errors painless and to an extent - fun. spellr.us should be a thousand lines of code no more than ebay should be a simple php shopping cart. I have used NetMechanic before (TextTrust was too expensive) and from what I've seen so far spellr.us is a completely different product than a simple site spell checker. Of course, if you feel you could do something much better much quicker please do! More competition = better for us end users :) @jack Something as simple as 1000 lines of code is hardly worth creating a product out of.

Most of us spell check before we publish out blog, some of us do it more than once. This would have been better as an add-on or something smaller than a stand alone website.
