Why use Sherlock-Deno?

  • Super lightweight
  • Can be run without installation
  • Runs all checks concurrently (asynchronous)
  • Cleverly looks through the response to determine if a user has an account (status code, redirect, page content)
  • Follows HTTP(S) redirections
  • Only uses the deno standard modules (colors, flags)
