This is an amazing tool in soooooo many ways. I have been needing this for a long time now, it is good to see that someone else thought about it.
I already know the readability stuff will go medieval on me, just by taking a look at how it is calculated. I disagree with the very idea, since it seems to assume some kind of median reader. Readability means a lot of different things to people with different educations interests, AND contexts. But that is just a tiny detail that in no way diminishes the usefulness of this tool.
I am already excited to see what new metrics you will add in the future.

The formula has been around for ages, I am not a linguistic professional, so instead of proposing something new, I opted to use something that is well accepted and widely used.
Word count, sentence length is pretty basic because this formula cannot take into account the frequency thay the word is used in other contexts etc.
Thank you for your kind words and support.
After watching my results there were some really interesting results. The fact that my less readable posts were the ones to get the most engagement was a true surprise. Guess the hare do leaps from wherever least expected.
The formula thing is a truly minor detail, guess in the end you had to use one metric or another. In the end it is useful.
Good work, HP numbers are just half the game, content is the other one.
That's the reason I didnt (and won't) include earnings on this tool. If it wasn't for the content, what would differentiate hive from every other project? Not much.
