Interesting product. I would enjoyed it more if I don't get this error constantly "ERROR: Could not analyze text. The website might be overloaded due to high number of visitors. Please, wait couple minutes and try analyzing again." I guess it's PH effect :)
I rather see it as an interesting tool to first help analyzing and better understanding own writing style. For instance when it points on very/too long sentences. Not sure if it would also help non-native people to improve their overall communication in English ...?
Love it so far! Is there anywhere to compare what % or number one should be at? I.e. I'm assuming the lower the better, perhaps there's a range that is most ideal?

I discovered Expresso today, yet it's existed for years. I presently use Shosho, which is great, but doesn't work on mobile. Surprisingly, Expresso kind of does. Sadly, it's a bit clunky (since you can't hover on mobile, you need to tap and it's hit-or-miss). It'll make a nice addition to my digital toolkit. The synonym suggestions are a great feature. Also, reading through the metrics page has helped me understand good writing better.

@anna_0x love the fact that this little tool I found via some deep googling years ago is still helping people out. Thanks for your comment!
This looks great! As for someone who is trying to get better at writing, this is very nice to have.
That being said, I believe that the most important thing about writing is building a habit. It is still the hardest thing for me to do. However, tools like these accelerate learning, which is great! Suggested synonyms, finding filler words, weak verbs and much more... I just started exploring, but there is so much more there. Wow...
