Ha, the creator of uplot strikes again! Love seeing your stuff man, always so thorough and well-explained, nice work

I was going to write a simpler comment but referencing uFuzzy instead! It's one of my favourite fuzzy search tools, but possibly even better than uFuzzy itself is the fuzzy search comparison tool they built. When I have a project that requires fuzzy search, I load a bunch of representative data into it and try out the different algorithms to see what sort of things I can expect, and which one feels most like the results I want.

So even if I don't end up using uFuzzy, I still end up using uFuzzy!

be careful with this. the settings for other libs are hardcoded to be as close to uFuzzy as possible, so you can definitely get worse/better results depending on how you config each lib for your needed use case.

*simpler -> similar, I can't edit the comment any more unfortunately.

ironically, uPlot is a great counter-example to projects that are "well-explained" :D

Ehehe well your writings always seem to make sense to me at least! I spend an abnormal amount of time thinking about stacked charts and the extremely-opinionated demo you made here has stuck with me for years, lol

Idk uplot, but I use ufuzzy!
