Pull in Hemingway app readability grades to CKEditor

[davidrkupton]

Using the PHP API at https://github.com/DaveChild/Text-Statistics, make real-time Hemmingway style calculations of readability (e.g. US School Grade) and complexity available on-site to content-editors.

https://ipeirotis-hrd.appspot.com/

Proposed visualization strategy:

1. When a node is saved, run an assessment on content and provide selected grade and complexity statistics as an on-screen message.
2. Add grammar/readability and grade-level statistics for a node/page to a new panel on the moderation sidebar

Proposed calculation:

• use the API to generate statistics on "analyzable content" contained within textboxes that have a WYSIWYG editor (i.e. Drupal Text Long types). The node itself and any components on the node would be analyzed.
• Join all "analyzable content" fields into s single text block to give an overall complexity for the page.
• Initially would have a global target for complexity and grade across all pages and page types, possible extension is to set targets for complexity and grade for each node (page type).

-Note this could be a second, stand-alone module that the city could contribute to the Drupal community.

The grammar element of Hemmingway could possibly be achieved by downloading a JS based grammar checker into the WYSIWYG editor (if there is not already one there) and have it ON by default.

• Also some browsers may have extensions that do this which could be enabled for frequently active content editors ...

Note: Hemmingway API is a fee-based service. The library above is free.

Note: The logic outlined in the original issue above (for analysis and for information supplied to the UI) would hold for the library and the API it just a question of which way we want to go.

Pulling in Hemingway app readability grades to CKEditor might require significant effort if there isn't an exiting solution.

Not sure if this is usable, prob worth evaluating: https://www.drupal.org/project/hemingway (From @jimafisk on 5/7/19)

Matt and Stella did some research but we will de-prioritize for now.

This looks like what you are asking for https://github.com/wooorm/readability

But also some work and other options are explored here nextcloud/text#3

Also, it's always good to have these requests supported in upstream libraries, so if you could add your 2c here that would be great ckeditor/ckeditor5#9819

Last commits on the Drupal module were 7 years ago. I think it is safe to assume this is a dead project https://www.drupal.org/project/hemingway/git-instructions

@duffy-james Do you want to have us look into this again?

closing this ticket and will create a new one if needed
