Big brain

there are a few things that the code defines as a generic project:

  • a lot of tags or if the project uses the #trending tag

  • titles very similar to other projects on trending

  • generic titles (like jungle platformer, dark platformer, etc)

  • part 3 (or any other number) in a series (it would block titles like “Space Platformer Part 2”)

How will this work?

it searches for projects with very similar titles and removes them, and then also removes projects that are like a “part 3” and removes “dark platformer” or “jungle platformer”, etc. it also removes projects that have a lot of tags. it’s still in beta, so it’s getting work, but it’s starting to look really cool.
