How long did this take to develop? It’s absolutely delightful

  Hey! The project started in early February, so it's been around 2-1/2 months. The time was split ~50/50 between design and development. Happy to elaborate if you have followup q's!

    That is seriously impressive for that short amount of time, fantastic work! I did comment elsewhere in this thread, but have since deleted, but I just had another question: Can you say a bit more about the OSS libraries I’m always looking for tools to help with comments in my projects!

      Thank you! I'm a bit wary of giving big hints to how the filters work, but I was inspired by: - npm packages like redact-pii, bad-words (and numerous other "bad word" lists) - askismet's open source spam code - regex unicode categories I also wrote a variety of checks for word counts, combinations of words, known "bad patterns", etc. You may not realize it, but the text input forms block a lot of potential inputs. It's not perfect, but that's why I'm manually handling things that surface. Happy to answer any follow-ups.
