I haven't compared it with anything yet. Thanks for the suggestion; I'll look into these.
Who cares how it compares, it's not a product it's a cool project
Even cool projects can learn from others. Maybe they missed something that could benefit the project, or made some interesting technical choice that gives a different result.
For the readers/learners, it's useful to understand the differences so we know what details matter, and which are just stylistic choices.
This isn't art; it's science & engineering.
But it isn't the OP's responsibility to compare their project to all other projects. The GP could themselves perform the comparison and post their thoughts instead of asking an open ended question.
> it isn't the OP's responsibility to compare their project to all other projects
No one, including the GP, said it was.
It isn't, but such information will be immensely helpful to anyone who wants to learn from such projects. Some tutorials are objectively better than others, and learners can benefit from such information.
100% agree, I didn't mean to imply that OP is responsible for that, or that the (lack of) comparison detracts in any way from the work.
Microgpt isn’t a product either. Are you saying that differences between cool projects aren’t worth thinking and conversing about?
> Who cares how it compares
Well, the person who asked the question, for one. I'm sure they're not the only one. Best not to assume why people are asking though, so you can save time by not writing irrelevant comments.
