Hi, I am the owner of https://perchance.org/allgrabber https://perchance.org/aimultitool (299 saves, last edited 2026-11-01). The generator at https://perchance.org/allgrabber-clean is a copy of my work published without my permission. Its own description admits it is “a cleaned copy of AllGrabber (perchance.org/allgrabber)”.

It republishes my code with ads, sponsor handling, and safety notices stripped out, which removes my revenue and misrepresents the app while free-riding on my work. I have the ownership evidence. if needed. tell me where to send?

Evidence (from Perchance’s public API):

Original (mine): perchance.org/allgrabber, 750 views, 299 saves, last edit 2026-11-01. Copy: perchance.org/allgrabber-clean, 1 view, last edit 2026-10-24 (an older snapshot of my code). Please remove the copy or restrict it. I can provide full source diffs on request. Thank you.

Other copies of my work: https://perchance.org/aimultitool-clean

Please Remove those. And Build some Mechanism and rules and prevention for future use. So this kind of thing will not happen again.

    Maybe because your code sucks and people don’t want to have ads on an open source website?

    If anyone wants to copy the generator, just go to copy-guard.js and change the generator name at: function official() try{ return String(window.generatorName|“”).toLowerCase()===“allgrabber”; catch(e){ return true; } }

      Do I own generators that I create on Perchance? Perchance is an open community where anyone can “fork” or “remix” anyone else’s generators. If you create a generator and share its URL with others, you must do so with the understanding that others may play around with your generator’s code and publish a remixed version. Other people may also “import” your generator into theirs so that they can use the lists that you’ve created. We are a “sharing-is-caring” community and encourage everyone to have a positive, open source attitude. If you use someone else’s generator, please be nice and credit them for their work. You can remove your generator from publicly visible lists (like perchance.org/generators) by clicking “make private” in the settings menu.

      ah messed up the format…

      function official(){
        try{ return String(window.generatorName||"").toLowerCase()==="allgrabber"; }catch(e){ return true; }
      }

    Let me get this straight, you’re upset that someone copied your thing that enables people to copy other people’s things?

      Not Like that… Not unhappy. Its about time and effort that dev gives to develop things for perchance… The original thing I mean. And here is no such protection to protect original work. Any one can just clone your work… Forking is good… but a clean clone? How perchance.org is allowing such thing? Then what is the reason if perchance cant protect original work?
