pHashion and text duplication?
phol56 opened this issue · comments
What would i need to do to make it work for comparing text or html files? - I can see from the pHash documentation that the capability exists, but it seems the gem is purely image focused. Unsurprisingly Phashion::Image.new("/some_page.html") fails!
Where would I need to start looking to monkey-patch this in?
Correct, this gem is focused image comparison. I looked at the pHash docs (http://www.phash.org/docs/design.html) and didn't see mentions of text comparison. Can you provide a link?
Rather than modify this library to gain the ability to do text comparison, I would suggest using a text comparison specific library. It's probably going to be more feature rich than phashion might ever become. Diffy looks like a great option.
@phol56 I'll close this issue since diffy looks like a better alternative. Please reopen the issue if I overlooked something.
