siml

siml is a CLI tool for discovering similar, related to, competitive, or alternative options to a given site.

Install

You can install siml using Go:

go install github.com/dwisiswant0/siml@latest

Alternatively, you can download the precompiled binary from the releases page and add it to your system path.

Usage

  siml v0.2.0
  --
  discover similar, related to, competitive, or serve as alternatives to a given website.

Usage: siml [DOMAINS...]

Examples:
  siml instagram.com
  siml twitter.com facebook.com

To use siml, simply run the siml command followed by the domain of the website you want to find similar sites for:

$ siml example.com

This will return a list of websites that are similar or related to example.com.

Library

To use siml as a library, you can import the siml package in your Go code and call the Get function. Here's an example usage:

package main

import "github.com/dwisiswant0/siml/pkg/siml"

func main() {
	similar, err := siml.Get("example.com")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	for _, s := range similar {
		println(s)
	}
}

In the example, the siml package is imported and the Get function is called with the domain name of the website for which similar sites are to be found. If an error occurs during the process, the Get function returns a non-nil error object, which can be handled appropriately in the code. If the process is successful, the Get function returns a slice of strings containing the similar sites, which can be iterated over and printed to the console or used in any other desired way.

You can use this same pattern to call the Get or Gets (that accept multiple domain inputs) function in your own code, passing in the domain name of the website you want to find similar sites for.
