1. Count the unique words in an e-book.
2. Count how many unique words are different between certain e-book combinations.

These ideas help language learning with the following.
First, I know I will not meet a lot of unknown words in my next book. Second, I know I will not spend too much time studying a book with only a few new unknown words or, in contrast, too many, making the reading of an e-book painful.

Right now, I do these with the help of ebook-convert and bash scripts but it'd be nice to see them in calibre.
Is there a git page for this plugin? I'm new to the calibre ecosystem hence the question.
Neither of those are things that I am interested in doing. If you want to do the first one, then I'm happy to answer any questions about the plugin.

But, I'm not sure the second fits with this plugin. The plugin only acts on one book and does the calculations and stores them. And strictly, once done, it won't be needed to be done again. For the comparison, you would need to select multiple books and the calculation. Then choose different books and do them again. And where would the results be stored?

There are some other plugins that might help. There is the "English Noun Frequency" plugin which does various things related to English nouns. And "Similar Books" that does some comparison to show if a book is similar to another. It hasn't been updated for a while, so might not work.

There is no Git or similar repository for the plugin. The code is completely within the plugin. If you want to make changes and discuss them, you can do it here. Same if you want to post a beta.
