+1 for this.
My work involves either producing essays to a precise word limit and also producing sermons which need to last for a given time (which I can quickly estimate with word count). At the moment I’m exporting to Word using Pandoc and counting there for an accurate count.
I’ve found a Chrome extension “Word Counter Plus” which gives a rough estmate which helps for now, but it breaks flow to have to select text then use the extension.
Thanks for an amazing product!
