Passion project: Hemingway app but for copywriting, looking for feedback.

I'm a product marketer who does a lot of copywriting. When I'm working on website or ad copy, I hate writing in an AI tool or even a Google Doc. I've always loved the Hemingway app for this kind of work, but I wanted features it didn't have. So I built my own. It's called Aristotle. It's free: no ads, no AI, no premium version. https://www.m3ka.com/tools/aristotle It's a simple place to write, with feedback that highlights ways to improve clarity, flow, and persuasion. It's decent so far, but I'd love feedback from other copywriters to help make it better. What do you like? What doesn't work? What would you add or remove? Thanks! Mods: I'm sharing this because I think the community might find it useful, and I'd appreciate feedback. I have a day job and no plans to monetize it.
