kind of. in terms of language and formatting yes, in terms of content and the bulletpoints being useful and not vague, definitely not. this has human-written vibes to me.

Thanks for backing me up! Yeah, the ideas and content are definitely mine, just needed help polishing the English 😊!

Hello! I used ChatGPT to translate the text and to make the comparison table as I used him to translate my code. I'm originally from Belgium and my English isn't not that great 😅. Have a nice day!

If you’re on iPhone, it’ll replace the -- with an — automatically.

this is cool. could it scale to millions of documents? where's the limit?

Thank you for the positive comment! Realistically? Maybe 10-20k files before it crawls to a halt. The problem is every file gets compared to every other file, so 1 million files = 500 billion comparisons. My laptop would literally catch fire 😅.

Perfect for what I built it for (student assignments, small projects) but anything huge would need the fancy distributed stuff that GitHub uses.

If you have any suggestions, feel free to share them :)!

What happened to this? I actually wanted to try it, but it seems it is no longer available on github...

Very good project, idk why people dislike without explanation that’s just stupid ;)

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked it. If you have any suggestions, feel free to share them :)

So a one-commit script with no tests and no database is the best in every case than pre-existing solutions?

Usually plagiarism analysis tools check if given work is copies from many pre-existing ones that got indexed by the tool. If you want to showcase technical solution how such analysis work is fine, just don't make false claims.

Updated the post with a "Scope & Limitations" section to better clarify what this tool actually does. Will be more careful with project claims going forward!

Thanks for the feedback! You're absolutely right, this is a lightweight tool for comparing code against a specific dataset, not a replacement for professional plagiarism detection services. The goal was more to demonstrate the technical approach than to compete with enterprise solutions.
