Duplicate of Readmore?

Did you silently admit that expand_collapse_formatter module is a copy of readmore module?
In the 2 years that have passed, have features changed? What are the differences now?

1. Currently the usage stats are slightly in favour of readmore, even if it only has an unstable D10 release.
2. Both seem to accumulate a few open issues since last year.
3. As for the name, this one suggests a more general usecases coverage (and doesn't depend on core's field module), but are they implemented?
4. Looking just at the javascript part of the source code, I can see that readmore module uses jQuery, while expand_collapse_formatter uses Drupal core's once library, so it has 1 less dependency?

I guess because of 3 & 4 I would suggest this first, but please let us know about features & plans differences and eventually consider merging them :)

@colan it's quite obvious that this module uses a very different technique from readmore module. Its functionality is hiding the text in frontend, using JS. No reload is required to show the remaining text. Readmore is server-side (php) and needs a reload to read more, similar to smart_trim. So it much more looks like readmore is kind of a duplicate of smart_trim that exists for very long.

I'm saying this so clear, as your statement on the readme module page reads a bit aggressive ;)
This is open source and the community is free to create its projects. The user decides, which one to use. Let's be allies :)

Closing this works as designed, as the differences and their different use-cases are now clear.

Thank you!
