  • Making a word list uniquely decodable with minimal cuts
    1 project | /r/informationtheory | 23 Mar 2023
    I like the concept of finding where the algorithm is "overly strict". And I appreciate teh creativity coming up with this banana example. However, I think given the goal of my project, I do not want to have to "restrict the passphrase generator to a fixed number of words" or similar restrictions on the generator. In other words, making restrictions on the password generator is not "allowed" (more crassly, I want to make my algorithm "idiot proof").
  • How hard could it be? Sorting words alphabetically in Rust
    2 projects | /r/rust | 23 Mar 2023
    Currently, Tidy can tell users if their created word list "clears" these "lines". However, there's an open issue discussing the accuracy and necessity of these "lines".
  • Looking for general advice on toy project

    Casual programmer here. I've been gradually working on a command-line tool for working with word lists (like you'd use to make a passphrase) I'm calling Tidy.
  • Command line tool to combine and edit word lists
    1 project | /r/wordlists | 29 Nov 2021
    I'm calling it Tidy. Would love to know if I'm missing any useful features! Or if anything is not working as promised. It's written in Rust -- I welcome contributions via GitHub!
