Name comparator

Website to allow upcoming parents to compare their chosen name with other parents to be, without sharing the actual names.

It takes a name as input and returns the first part of an SHA-224 hash of that name, after being stripped from accents, non-word characters and captitalization.

Used technology

This website is built with Next.js (React), is statically served and runs entirely in the browser.

About the code

There's over 16 million possible codes (16^6), so on a collision – two times the same code – you know with 99.9999999404% (100-1/16^6) certainty that the same name was used.
