Hello Dev.to writers and readers, I'm presenting Dev.to Rater.
Tool that I built using React.js and Typescript.

Very interesting!
One thing, I think your length part / repeated words parts might be over-weighted. I got a 0 for this article: dev.to/grahamthedev/101-digital-ac... and yet it is my highest reaction article.
However when I ran it on other articles I did find the feedback useful, great tool!
Hello! Thanks for sharing your feedback. We really appreciate it.
This tool is still in development phase and yes, I agree that this article should have higher score. For example, you used words such as
have,areandItoo much times. However, these words should be ignored. We actually have a file where are defined some words that are ignored for calculating repetition but we did not include these ones that you used. However, we will add them and you will get higher score.P.S. Please support us by giving us a star ⭐ on GitHub. Thank you once again!
I would suggest changing from a count to a percentage of total words. That way it is easier to see usage by "weight" and compare articles.
I hope the tool grows and does well!
Wow, that's a cool idea. We might implement it. Yes, we will try to grow it further
I tried one of my posts, and I got "your" as too frequently used.
Maybe you've repeated the word "your" too many times @canro91
If you hover over the word, it will show you how many times you've repeated it throughout your blog post
For example:

Cool!
Thanks, Ben! Your feedback means a lot to me!
Super! 🔥
My 2025 AI prediction got 8.24 - not bad I guess 😇
I'm not sure about the measuring criteria though! 🤔
Are longer sentences always bad, especially if proper punctuation is maintained?
For example, one of the most engaging posts in #AI this year got only 7.85 (not my post)!
Also, "easier to read" and "most engaging" doesn't always mean the same thing, does it? So, if by engaging you mean more readable, then perhaps you should advertise it that way!
Again, loved the idea 🥰, but definitely can be improved further.
Please continue working on it! ❤️
That's high score, congrats! 🔥
The measuring criterias can be found at our documentation.
Thanks for sharing your feedback ❤️. This tool is still in the development phase and we will continue to update calculating criterias.
P.S. Please support us by giving us a star ⭐ on GitHub. Thank you once again!
Already ⭐ed and Forked 🥰
Thank you so much! ❤️
Just to check out the tool further, I've edited my recent post about using AI in software development a little and ended up with a 9.9 score! 🥳
Before the edit, the post got less than 8 (7.7 if I remember correctly). Did the post become that much more engaging after the update? Obviously not!
That said, loved the idea 🥰.
So please continue working on it.
Great job! If you get 10, there is a special visual effect! You need to write a little more to get 5 minutes of reading time to get 10 out of 10 points. Keep writing ✍🏻
What we plan in the future:
We just need your support. Thank you for providing feedback. It means a lot to us.
@fm We are now on Product Hunt. Support us with upvote if you believe in this project. Thank you! ❤️
Nice!
Tried my recent article and got 9.34 score. Btw how you are calculating the score?
Thanks for your feedback, Kiran!
That’s an impressive score. Congratulations! 🎉
You can find all the calculation details in the documentation, specifically in the "Core Logic" section on the left.
Additionally, your console output shows how many points were subtracted for specific areas.
For example:

Awesome

Thanks Amarachi, have you tried it? :)
Yes I did. I used it to improve two of my blog post published here on DevTo. It's amazing.
Glad you like it
This is very cool and unique project and thats why I'm contributing to this. I believe in this
Thanks for the contributing. Really appreciate
Does this check for AI-generated content as well? Maybe a good feature to add in the future.
Hello 🙂
Thanks for the question.
Yes, we've already considered that and have opened an GitHub issue to track it.
The plan is to create a list of common used AIwords and to reduce the score for each detected occurrence.
In the future, we may provide support also for Medium blog posts. Follow us to stay updated 🙂
