Suggestion: Make it easier to find this fork of data-diff? #49

I came across articles about data-diff, got excited, and then saw that they'd archived it. I immediately started looking through their forks to see if anyone had picked up this project. (The most active one appears to be this one) It wasn't until I came across the Reddit thread that I stumbled across this repo! I am glad to see someone picking up the mantle (especially someone as invested as you). Good tabular data diff is sorely needed. I just wish I'd found it sooner. (Perhaps creating a real fork of it, or perhaps making it clearer from the outset that it was forked from data-diff? You know better than I do - just suggestions off the top of my head)

Thanks for your concern, and I'm glad you find this project useful!

I did not fork data-diff directly, because reladiff diverges slightly from it. Also, Datafold asked me to keep the brand as separate as possible, and that's what I tried to do. However, I do mention data-diff in the readme, and elsewhere.

When I google "data-diff fork", reladiff appears as the fifth result. Is it not the same way for you?

When I asked ChatGPT "what's the best fork of data-diff?", it replied "The most popular fork of the archived data-diff project is Reladiff"

I don't know if there's much more I can do, but I'm open to suggestions.

At the end of the day, I believe the best way to make the project seen is by making it popular. So star it if you haven't already, and maybe put a link to it somewhere, or post about it! Reladiff is still pretty new on the scene, and hopefully soon it will gain enough legitimacy to stand out even better.

It looks like you are way ahead of me here. I wasn't Googling it, but I think I should have. :) And makes total sense about not wanting to make it a proper fork for the reasons you mentioned. Thanks for the quick reply, and carry on!
