5 Ways TypeSafe Helps Developers Write Better

Code-aware grammar checking, markdown support, and technical writing features that make TypeSafe the perfect writing assistant for developers.

Writing Tools Built for Writers, Not Developers

Traditional grammar tools are designed for prose writing. When you use them for technical writing, they become more annoying than helpful—flagging code snippets as errors, misunderstanding technical terminology, and suggesting changes that break syntax.

TypeSafe is different. We built it with developers in mind.

1. Smart Code Block Detection

TypeSafe automatically recognizes code blocks and skips grammar checking inside them. Write your documentation with inline code examples, and TypeSafe will only check the actual prose—not your function names, variables, or syntax.

It works with markdown code fences, HTML <code> tags, and even detects code-like patterns in plain text fields.

2. Markdown Awareness

Writing README files, documentation, or technical blog posts in markdown? TypeSafe understands markdown syntax and won't flag your formatting characters as errors.

  • Headers (#, ##, ###) are recognized and skipped
  • Links and images syntax doesn't trigger false positives
  • Inline code with backticks is intelligently ignored
  • Lists and blockquotes maintain proper grammar checking

3. Personal Dictionary for Technical Terms

Add your project's specific terminology, library names, and technical jargon to your personal dictionary. Once added, TypeSafe stops flagging these terms and they sync across all your devices.

Perfect for terms like: GraphQL, PostgreSQL, TypeScript, Kubernetes, or your company's product names.

4. Better Git Commit Messages

Write clear, professional commit messages with proper grammar. Use TypeSafe directly in GitHub, GitLab, or your git client's web interface to craft commits that your teammates will appreciate.

The AI rewriter can help you transform quick notes into properly formatted conventional commit messages.

5. Pull Request Descriptions That Get Approved Faster

Clear communication in pull requests speeds up code review. Use TypeSafe to polish your PR descriptions, explain complex changes clearly, and communicate edge cases effectively—all without leaving your browser.

The formalize feature is particularly useful here: take your casual notes and transform them into professional technical writing with one click.

Built by Developers, For Developers

As developers ourselves, we understand the frustration of tools that don't understand how we work. TypeSafe respects your workflow, understands your context, and helps you communicate technical concepts clearly—whether you're writing in English, Polish, or both.
