Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built The Word Ledger because most word counters I used were cluttered with ads or asked you to sign up just to count words. This one's the opposite: paste your text, get instant word/character/sentence counts, reading time, speaking time, and a quick keyword density check — that's it. No account, no ads, no data leaving your browser (everything runs client-side). It's aimed at writers, students, and anyone who needs a quick gut-check on length or repetition before publishing — checking a blog post against SEO length guidelines, making sure a cover letter isn't running long, that kind of thing. It's intentionally simple. No AI gimmicks, no premium tier — just a tool that does one thing well. Would love to hear what you think, and if there's a feature that would actually make this useful for your workflow, I'm all ears.
