But I support this project. Grammarly is too rigid in its suggestions despite being pretty mature. Jasper has a shitty webapp with obligatory signin and strange behaviour. And Sudowrite was unusable in my attempt because it didn't make my sample sentences any better despite wanting $20 a month.
I believe you can fit pretty big texts this way without delving into a rabbit-hole of some obscure formats.
Python app code for decoding that, using existing modules, should fit on a single A4 sheet too without any encoding.
In general case most modern browsers allow an alternate way of opening a tab in background, e.g. middle mouse button click, so this gives users a method of control over what they want hyperlinks to do, but not the other way as there's no easy way to undo target=_blank.
It's usually considered bad UX practice to do so by default unless clicking a hyperlink can cause irreversible state change like in some cases of autopaging.
Basically you walk at a slow pace in a most non-crowded place while passively focusing on some specific sensation, but not thinking about it or getting distracted by other thoughts and sensations. In my case it's usually the sensation of air during breathing through the nose. If you do get distracted you just gently return your focus back to observing without internal fuss or overanalyzing. Also music and smartphone are a big no there.

This is true. But another thing is that it's normal for some rushed people to consider it to be an aggressive action. No amount of educational articles will change that, as it stems from a deeper psychological processes, and that makes this specific example almost unavoidable. It's both normal to politely convey urgency and overreact to it, at least internally. Preventing this internal reaction from spilling out is a part of personal emotional control/development which is out of scope of a pragmatic approach.
But other similar things, like harder pressuring and subtle passive-aggression, that cause the same effects and seem innocent for the senders, can be avoided realistically. Otherwise it'd be disingenuous to blame overreaction on the respondent. The sub-tones do matter no matter how polite the message sounds, after all.
The sender there have more power over the result of the exchange, and respondent have a kind of passive role of reacting to the initial stimulus. The common courtesy is one thing known to almost everyone who cares but the sender's passive-agressiveness is hidden from their sight, as is the desire to pressure respondent for some kind of results. The respondents in a calm and charitable state of mind wouldn't normally overreact as much so they are either overworked or anxious which increases the threshold of picking the bad in seemingly common stuff.
It's impossible to change other random people nor alleviate their anxieties or tiredness. So it's on the sender to avoid that which I implied in the TS comment, which in itself is based on the article's examples.
