This is impressive, great job on building a tool to find duplicate code! How does it handle false positives?

I've faced a similar issue in my projects, your tool sounds interesting. Can you give some examples of finding and fixing duplicates?

Especially in larger codebases, this can consume too much time, having a tool like this would be helpful.

I wonder how efficient this algorithm is in terms of time complexity and how it identifies duplicates.

I found a similar tool online, but it only supported one programming language.

I've analyzed the codebase and here's a list of duplicate codes.

Wow, that's quite a decent list! I'm looking forward to checking the details. What framework or programming language did you test it with?

So far, the analysis covers Java, Python, and JavaScript code. More languages will be supported in the future.

How does your tool compare to others in market? I've seen some other popular tools like CodeClimate, CodeFactor, and Sider.

I haven't tested the ones you've mentioned thoroughly. However, I think such a comparison would make for an interesting blog post.

Please do so, I'm curious to find out. Do you plan to monetize the tool or keep it open-source?
