swot VS free-for-dev

I have mentioned this in other reddit posts, we use SWOT by JetBrains to make sure the .edu email being used is valid. We also do not accept applications from domains that have been blacklisted by them for fraud. You can find this list here.

No problem, just apply with an official document here. Also, doesn't need to be a US high school. I can tons of accepted high school domains from other countries in their GitHub repo, for example this random middle/high school from Germany.

JetBrains, as far as I'm aware, just checks the domain of your email against this repository, sends you a verification email to make sure the address is actually real and belongs to you, and doesn't ask any questions behind that. You can do this over and over in perpetuity, even if you're a staff or faculty member rather than a student.

Or some text files on github

https://github.com/JetBrains/swot/tree/master/lib/domains check if your email domain is listed here. Then it also works. (Or just register as Student License and wait if it works)

Actually I found a archive in here that list all the academic domains https://github.com/JetBrains/swot/tree/master/lib/domains

JetBrains uses this open library to verify email addresses for its own student licenses. I guess that means it's free and somewhat battle-tested.

This list results from Pull Requests, reviews, ideas, and work done by 1100+ people. You can also help by sending Pull Requests to add more services or remove ones whose offerings have changed or been retired.
