This was definitely a consideration. It was why there is a blacklist feature and why only links of a certain length and certain type are analyzed. Any suggestions can be made on github via a pull request.

Good point. There is some consideration for building an option to limit the number of links analyzed. So if you set it to 5 or 10, then the tool would stop at that limit. Feel free to open an issue on github.

Thanks for the comment. There is a new version under development that will use a different approach. Most likely a neural network.

React Native experience was really quite nice. The android and ios versions have almost the exact identical logic and about 50 percent of the same codebase. I imagine as the android framework evolves, the shared code will increase.
