[I'm a solo developer so this question is a bit personal to me]
Would knowing if the creator of a product is like me or fully fledged organisation affect your likelihood of using any software they create?
It has been about three years since I launched this current iteration of my Google Sheets add-on called Flookup.
I'm a solo developer and, currently, I handle absolutely everything to do with Flookup from writing code, replying support emails and even marketing. It is a lot of work but very satisfying because I get to see, first hand, how helpful it has been to my userbase.
Before Flookup was launched, there was only one prominent Google Sheets add-on that could be used for data cleaning (to a certain degree) but, luckily for me, that add-on had left a gap in functionality that I was very glad to fill.
To develop Flookup, I had to write a new algorithm from the ground up in order to make it actually useful to my userbase. Originally, this userbase comprised me and a small team in an organisation I was working at. Today, that number has grown to at least 10,000 Daily Active Users from every corner of the world (except Antarctica).
What is Flookup? It is an add-on that uses fuzzy matching algorithms to power its data cleaning functions. Flookup's functions allow you to match or merge datasets without worrying about how uniform your data is. You can also highlight and remove duplicates even if the text contains typos, punctuation marks or spelling differences.
So, today, I'm inviting you to try it out and let me know what you think... here is the link:

At its core, Flookup is a fuzzy matching add-on that helps you manage text that is less than a 100% match. Beyond that it can be used to:
1. Search for and match data regardless of whether it contains typos.
2. Highlight and delete duplicates duplicates even if the data has mismatched text.
3. Calculate the percentage similarity between strings.
4. Extract unique values from any column based on percentage similarity.
5. Sum and find the average of numbers based on corresponding partial matches.
Because of its versatility, Flookup can be used to return the best match, the next best match, etc. until the minimum percentage similarity is reached. This feature avoids weaknesses other fuzzy matching algorithms have because it safely hands power to the user, and I believe the user is the best judge of which data is a match or not.
Another great feature Flookup has is that it can be used to combine lookup values. This is particularly helpful when your data has many similar strings and you want to add extra information to your lookup value in order to increase the specificity of your query.
Finally, Flookup is good for more than just fuzzy matching; it is the improved replacement for VLOOKUP and INDEX/MATCH that you have been looking for.
