Is there any option for spell checking with the new block editor?

Hi there,
We removed the spellcheck feature After the Deadline as it has become a bit redundant lately. Most major web browsers have some form of this already built-in, and free extensions like https://www.grammarly.com/ are making huge strides in the field.
It felt like the right time to back out of that field and focus more on everything else we offer.
More discussion on the decision can be found here:

Let me know if you have any questions.

How does that work with the desktop WordPress.com app. That’s what I use to write my blog posts?

We have some additional recommendations at https://wordpress.com/go/content-blogging/the-grammarly-wordpress-tool-and-other-proofreading-solutions/
At the moment, the best option for the desktop app is to copy/paste across, but we’re looking into alternatives to that.

I really don’t know what to say. Who had the bright idea to remove the spell checker? Then to add insult to injury you have nothing in place to compensate except copy/paste. That’s just extra work.
