This looks like a dupe of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19195819. Also, please don't do promotional voting and especially not booster comments in the threads! Our software picks up most of it and HN users figure it out too, and then they get mad and flag things (or worse).

The majority of the program has been redesigned and rewritten since the initial post 50 days ago, so I thought it would be alright to make another one. The Show HN rules say that 'A major overhaul is probably ok'. Would that still classify this as a dupe? Honestly, I was just excited of the progress made and what I had learned, and wanted to share/discuss it with others.

I didn't engage in any kind of promotional voting. It's free software given away under the MIT license. I don't gain anything from other people using it.

Ok, that does sound like a reasonable resubmission of a Show HN. Sorry I didn't understand that! I'll take off the dupe tag.

However, these comments are obviously promotional and there were votes to match:

If you didn't arrange that, someone else must have. We banned those accounts of course.
