Would be great to be able to run a spell check on the desktop app. Its easy enough to add a browser plugin for web version but nothing I have found for desktop version. 

I can understand that others use this as a note taking device so little red underlines may be distracting for some, so maybe the ability to turn it on/off or simply a command to run one.

  I prefer the Workflowy desktop experience over the browser. When others receive a Workflowy link from me that contains spelling errors they frequently question why spell checking isn't a feature of the app. So I've resorted to using the browser by default but not by choice.

  And contextual selection of a word to look it up!

  This seems like low hanging fruit to add to the desktop app

  Any way to turn it off? It's really annoying to me.

  This is the same feature request as this one:

  Would be better to have only one thread so it doubles the votes

  I'm on Windows 10 and I just saw that distinctive red underline chrome gives me for spell check...  in the WorkFlowy desktop app.

  I believe it's arrived, very quietly.

  Thank you WorkFlowy dev team!

  You can disable spellcheck via the "Edit" tab top left of your interface :-)
