(copy of) A blockchain in 200 lines of code?

Hello, please don't misunderstand me, I think it is good to extend and pass on your knowledge, but
Where is the big difference to the code of Lauri Hartikka?
See her: https://github.com/lhartikk/naivechain
Why a new name (!)
But you didn't reinvent this wheel, why don't you fork it?
Sorry, for this comment.....
I understand your point of view, but want to clarify why this repository exists:
First of all: I wasn't aware of that project. Must Google better!
Secondly: I created this code to demonstrate how a blockchain works on a very basic level. It was made just for my YouTube video. It's just a proof-of-concept and misses a lot of features of a real blockchain. It's not my intend to make a real project out of this.
And thirdly: You could say that the other project also "reinvents the wheel" because blockchains already exist.
I'll close this comment for now because this is not a real issue. You can however continue making comments here.
Xavier, thank you for your quick reply and your frank words, that was great! Also your videos and your channel is great, no question.
As I said, I saw the code "naivechain" and then "yours", both in Javascript, so identical (---> software pattern)... Hashtables, binary, merkle trees and some other software patterns are older than the two of us together :)
I wishing you and your family a joyous and peaceful Christmas.
May you be blessed with lots of love from the ones that matter most.
