Every fullstop is a forkin the road
Keep writing. Segue waits for the next mark.
A demonstration: as the paragraph is typed, Segue offers transition words after each full stop, such as However, So, Also and For example.
Three keystrokesyou already make
- 01
You write
Segue does nothing at all while you are mid-sentence. No underlines, no popups, no rewriting of what you meant to say.
- 02
You punctuate
A full stop, a comma, a semicolon — each one is a decision you have already made. Segue treats the mark as the signal.
- 03
You take the turn
Four ways forward appear, grouped by the move each one makes. Arrow keys to choose, Tab to insert, or keep typing and they vanish.

The mark decides the pool
A semicolon asks for a conjunctive adverb. A comma wants a short hinge that reads inline. A colon announces. Segue keeps four separate vocabularies and picks by the mark you actually typed.
Grouped by intent
Suggestions arrive labelled — contrast, cause, example, close — so you are choosing a move, not scanning a thesaurus.
It does not repeat itself
The engine walks each category's list as you go, so you will not get 'However' four times in one paragraph.
Silent until you punctuate
No underlines, no squiggles, no rewriting of your sentence. Mid-clause, Segue is not there at all.
One key in, one key out
Tab accepts the highlighted word and puts the caret back where it was. Keep typing and the suggestions disappear without a trace.

Rewrite your sentence
Offer a word. You type it or you do not — the draft is yours either way.

Send your writing anywhere
Matching is a lookup against a local list. There is no request to make.

Guess what you mean
You picked the punctuation. Segue reads that, and nothing else about your intent.
Reasonable thingsto ask first
No. Segue never flags an error, never underlines anything and never rewrites a sentence. It offers a word at the moment you finish a clause, and that is the whole product.
No. Matching a punctuation mark to a list of transition words is a local lookup — there is no model to call and no request to make. The demo above is the same code, which is why it keeps working if you go offline.
. , ; : ! ? — … — and each one draws on a different set of words, because a semicolon and a comma are asking for different things.
Keep typing and they disappear. Nothing is ever inserted unless you press the key to insert it, so a bad suggestion costs you no keystrokes and leaves no trace in the draft.
It is a risk worth naming. Segue rotates through its lists rather than always offering the most common word, and it groups by rhetorical move so you are choosing an argument shape rather than accepting a default. You still pick the word.
Not yet — Segue is in early access and the list below is how you get in. There is no launch date to promise you honestly, so we are not going to invent one.
Undecided. Whatever the answer turns out to be, everyone on the early-access list hears it before anyone else does.
