Today we have a classic puzz.link genre that has only been done once before in the channel. It is often considered a bit of a scanning exercise, but there is an option to make the scanning a bit gentler if you'd like. I am aware that some may see this as hitorimiss, but I actually kind of like the genre if I'm being perfectly honest. Hopefully you do too!

Today's GAPP is a Hitori!

Rules: Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. No two cells in the same row or column containing the same number may both be unshaded.

Solver's Note: As mentioned before, there is a way to potentially make scanning a bit gentler. You can select the "Show overlapped numbers as red" option so you can see duplicates in rows/columns. It is not necessary for the solve so it's up to you if you want to use it!
