Show HN: Google Sheets add-on to fuzzy lookup, highlight and remove duplicates
2 by ogora | 0 comments on Hacker News.
5 years ago, I created an add-on for Google Sheets called Flookup Data Wrangler for lightweight data cleaning inside the Google Sheets environment. It features both a menu function and a spreadsheet function component. Flookup can be used to: 1. Lookup and match data regardless of text-based differences. 2. Highlight and delete duplicates even if the dataset has mismatched text. 3. Calculate the percentage similarity between text entries. 4. Extract unique values from any column based on percentage similarity. 5. Remove stop words based on text similarity and strip punctuations from strings as well. Because of its versatility, Flookup can be used to return the best match, the next best match, etc. until the minimum percentage similarity is reached. This feature avoids weaknesses other fuzzy matching algorithms have because it safely hands power to you, the user, and I believe the user is the best judge of which data is a match or not. One other great feature Flookup has is that it can be used to combine lookup values. This is particularly helpful when your dataset has many similar strings, and you want to include extra information to your lookup value in order to increase the specificity of your query.

Show HN: AuthWin – Authenticator App for Windows
2 by yashg | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I have been using Authy on desktop to generate TOTP for 2FA. Recently got a message that they are shutting down the desktop client. I tried looking for a stand-alone and simple (as simple as Google Authenticator) app for Windows but did not find any, so I built one myself. It can generate Time-based OTP and can also import the QR code exported from Google Authenticator. Currently it supports only TOTP because that's what most services seem to use. The app utilises - OTP.Net for TOTP generation https://ift.tt/4wy2DMk ZXing.Net for reading QR codes https://ift.tt/Jbsvc9t QRCoder for creating QR codes https://ift.tt/4k8ECWZ Google protobuf for reading Google QR code protobuf message https://ift.tt/3XgZpWl Utilising .proto file from https://ift.tt/3451TQn
