I built diffchecker.dev, a simple online diff checker for comparing text/code quickly in the browser.
I wanted something that is:
Fast (no signup, no clutter) Privacy-friendly (diff happens client-side) Useful for everyday developer workflows
I’d really appreciate honest feedback:
Do you find the UI intuitive? Is anything confusing or missing?
Happy to iterate based on feedback.
Thanks in advance.

• Client-side diffing is great for privacy, but it might help to call out the file-size limits so people don’t assume they can drop a 50MB log in there. Even a small progress indicator when the diff is running would make the “nothing’s happening” moment less confusing. • Dark mode or at least a higher-contrast theme would be appreciated—most of us are jumping over from code editors that are already dark.
Curious if you’re considering side-by-side character-level highlighting like Kaleidoscope/VSCode’s inline mode. That’s the one feature that usually pushes me back to the heavyweight tools. Either way, thanks for putting another option out there.
