Levenshtein Summary Comparison App

This project is a demo web application that allows users to compare two summaries using the Levenshtein distance algorithm. The application also features a progress bar to show the percentage difference between two summaries, and users can only submit a new summary if the difference reaches a certain threshold.

Features

• Calculate Levenshtein distance between two text inputs
• Display the difference as a percentage using a progress bar
• Users can submit a new summary once the difference exceeds a predefined threshold

Tech Stack

• React (Next.js)
• TypeScript
• Levenshtein Distance Algorithm via the js-levenshtein library

Prerequisites

Before running the application, ensure you have the following installed:

• Node.js (version 18.x or above)
• npm (Node Package Manager, which comes with Node.js)

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/vnthanhdng/levenshtein-demo.git

2. Install dependencies

Install the necessary dependencies using npm:

npm install

3. Build the project

To build the project for production, run:

npm run build

This will create an optimized production build in the .next directory.

4. Start the application
