Unfortunately, as the number of posts grows,\nstudents tend to get overwhelmed when encountering an issue. Instead\nof searching the forums for a similar problem, they blindly create\nnew questions that might have already been discussed. This increases\nthe amount of duplicate posts making the class forum unnecessarily\ncluttered.\n\n**Duplicare** brings a solution to this problem by providing a\nsimple `userscript` that enhances Piazza by leveraging the power of\nthe existent search functionality whenever the student writes a new\npost. Its main objective is to reduce the number of duplicate\nquestions saving both the students and the instructors time and\neffort.\n\n## Installation\n\nThis script has been tested on both Firefox and Chrome. To start\nusing it, follow these steps:\n\n1. Install [Greasemonkey](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/) for Firefox or [Tampermonkey](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo?hl=en) for Chrome.\n\n1. Install **Duplicare** from [OpenUserJS](https://openuserjs.org/scripts/reyallan/Duplicare).\n\n1. Make sure to enable the script!\n\n## Usage\n\nUsing the script is straightforward:\n\n* Simply visit the [Piazza](https://piazza.com) forum for your class.\n\n* Click on the `New Post` button.\n\n* As soon as you start typing the *Summary* for your post, **Duplicare** will automatically initiate a search on the left pane using the same words.\n\nHopefully this will help you find a possible solution to your problem,\nby finding similar questions, and avoid creating a duplicate post.\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n### Script is not working\n\n* Make sure **Duplicare** is enabled. You can verify this by clicking on the Greasemonkey (Firefox) or Tampermonkey (Chrome) icon in your browser, and make sure the script is running.\n\n* Refresh the page. This will force the script to be reloaded.\n\n* If none of the solutions above worked, please create an issue!","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frey-allan%2Fduplicare","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Frey-allan%2Fduplicare","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frey-allan%2Fduplicare/lists"}
