I love how the first ten or so features don't even say what it does. And I'm still not quite sure after reading the whole list.
Free and Open Source Software
If it's free and open source and it's also software, it can be discussed here. Subcommunity of Technology.

Sometimes foss people get a bit carried away and forget that users generally care more about what the thing does than how it's made
It deletes duplicate files on your computer
oh god, it deletes all backups /s
No it doesn't. You must elhave enabled it
Yeah, as a user I'm starting to regard this as a classic developer pitfall. It's the same with everything I guess - when you work on something for long enough your perspective and reason for doing it evolves.
If FOSS users and developers mixed more and had more time to offer everything would work and flow better: UX/UI, documentation, install scripts etc.
We are our own departments: Speak up and be more specific, users! Take a couple of steps back, developers!
This is excellent software.
Indeed, it is very useful. Over the years I transferred files around, copy and pasted from one distro to another and ended up with plenty of duplicates i didn't even realized.
It helped me not manually search for them all.
Great piece of FOSS.
That name tho...
It's Polish for "hiccup"
That may be so. But to most people it looks unpronounceable.
I wouldn't mind not being able to pronounce so much as remembering or even typing the name.
I just figured it was an Amazon dropshipper.
It is pretty good, but at least for video duplicates there is quite some room for improvement. For that I prefer https://github.com/0x90d/videoduplicatefinder . Shows more information from the video (codec, size, bitrate, length, etc.) and the detection works slightly better in my case.
But if anyone has more suggestions, I know I still have some duplicates left in my pile of ... linux iso installation tutorials. What would be especially nice if it could detect videos as parts in other videos.
