Latest tool: QuickDiff – visually showing the differences between text

I present you, QuickDiff: diff.mattiasgeniar.be.

It does a very simple job: it takes the input from 2 text fields, and visually shows you the differences between them. It's a graphical layer on top of the "diff" command in Linux.

There are already sites out there that have similar (and more advanced) functionality like this, but since I'm paranoid I want to build it myself. I give you my word that I don't save your input, but I can not prove it in any way. And that's the exact reason I don't want to use someone else's tool: when I use it to diff config files, I don't want that to be sent elsewhere.

Up to you if you decide to use it!

  1. You could also use vimdiff if you want something out-of-the-box.
    Pretty nice though!

    • Very true, but allas: I’m still a Windows user. When I’m at the CLI just “diff” usually does the trick, but for long texts or windows config files/lists, this seems to work fine. :)

  2. just use `meld`

    it should be ported to windows. if not, it would be a good project for your free time :)
