Automattic, the owner of WordPress.com, has acquired Harper, a Grammarly competitor designed for developers and focused on local privacy. Harper's grammar tool will be integrated into Automattic's platforms like WordPress.com and WooCommerce, with faster performance claims than Grammarly. The acquisition occurred amidst a legal dispute between Automattic and WP Engine over contributions to the open-source WordPress project and trademark issues.
