You should also mention you are using Sherlock as the underlying backend which does that actual searching as you did in this post. https://old.reddit.com/r/Pyt

With that said, I like the look of the UI you put on top, great work!
Edit: As others have pointed out, the author doesn't need to make their creation MIT as well. I misunderstood the license agreement. They just have to include the notice of the dependencies somewhere. TIL.
- Ostatnigrosh 4y agoHey! Just added the MIT license.
- bradknowles 4y agoSo, you should cache hits. If someone asks the same question again five minutes later, then you shouldn't need to look them up again. Also, it would be nice to show misses -- where the account name hasn't been used. I have found a few other people out there with the same name, and it would be nice to know what systems I can go to and grab the name I want to use.
- nop_slide 4y agoApologies if I misread the license attribution, didn't want to take away from the work you did but also wanted to make sure credit was given. Cheers

- nop_slide 4y agoYep, my misunderstanding.
- mtmail 4y agoOP did right after posting: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33722495 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33722495 Almost the same text as on reddit. Second sentence in the README file on github is "This app is a wrapper around The Sherlock Project" (last edited 5h before posting) and second sentence in the UI is "This project is a wrapper around the Sherlock Project."
- echelon 4y agoThe MIT license isn't infectious! You might have just told the author to give up their rights. They're well within their rights to release their software as MIT or whatever, but they should make that decision on their own or as reflection upon the proper arguments from the community.
- ilyt 4y agoIt really is amazing how many people advertise or shun license without even knowing what it does...
