Turns out I created this exact module by macrura unknowingly.

Should I add it nonetheless?

In this case I'd vote for merging efforts than keeping it separate. Not only is is damn similar now, but I also don't see how those would differ more in the future.

What @LostKobrakai said.

There are no hard and fast rules about such a situation. However, it is usually best to send a PR to the author of an existing module in case you believe your module offers some missing features, unless that existing module is not being actively maintained (in which case it could be forked and re-worked, anyway). The idea is not another WordPress please , if you get my drift. Quality over quantity is the mantra, However, there is no official position on this. The final decision is yours . Whatever you decide, thanks for your contribution. Looking forward to more .

Thanks for the response, I'll check out @Macrura's work, and try to improve that instead. It is frustrating to find out you've wasted half a day, but I've learned a lot on module creation, so that's a plus.
