PG’s text editor isn’t really suited for creating piles of voluminous texts, so you might just wish to create all your text content outside of it - and then … you are using an external editor - which more than likely has a spell checker.

BBEdit definitely has a very good spell checker; unless there is a lot of writing, I find myself not using Pinegrow and instead just using BBEdit, but I would really like a proper “writing mode” on the visual side of Pinegrow. I think the app is almost there, it just needs a bit more tweaking to make it ideal for this purpose. 🙏
