Tired of copy/pasting into ChatGPT, so I built a custom tool

I’m a software developer from Ukraine, and English isn’t my first language. Like many people, I use ChatGPT to fix my writing. My usual workflow was copy/pasting text into ChatGPT with “fix this”, then copy/pasting it back. It works, but is slow.

So about a month ago, I built a small tool to solve this. Now I just select text, press a hotkey combination, and it instantly replaces the text with the corrected version.

Curious if anyone else would find this useful, so I set up a waiting list page at clippy.it.com
