Hrm. It seems like the authors are caught up in things like "vividness" score and the "sentiment analysis" of the text; I guess because it's loosely related to AI?

But it seems like a bulk of the stats collected are things that I would find really useful. I've probably asked myself, "how many words are in this book" on 10+ separate occasions, both as a reader and as a writer.

It also seems like there were also counts of things like adjectives, verbs, adverbs, passive verbs, etc -- stats that I might want to know about a novel.

The bulk of the service seems rather "boring" and non-AI. Unfortunate that the whole thing was taken down because of a few features. Hopefully it'll come back.
