Given the time it'd be cool to try single threaded vs parallelism (rayon) on larger datasets and compare the performance.

Nice work on your tool, sounds like you've put a lot of consideration into it.

At work I sometimes download the same file multiple times to my machine and have to go through my downloads folder and manually remove the duplicates, so this is something I built to speed up the process of doing this.
