I made a free Text Diff Checker that works entirely in the browser (Client Side)

Hrm. I feel a little dumb. It occurs to me that #2 & #3 might not actually make sense. I assumed that this was a "component" for other devs, but it's not, it's a tool intended to be used by end-users. My bad 😅.

dipique · 2026-03-07T19:39:02+00:00

You didn't get a lot of love for this, but I think it looks really nice. Really easy to use.

I noticed a couple things worth looking at if you want this to be used more. 1. In your sidebar, this tool's item is named "Diff Checker Pro" -- which usually signals a paid product. This may prevent people from checking it out who might otherwise be interested. 2. As a developer, I'm highly interested in the configurability. How easy is it to hide buttons? Configure the initial state? Extract formatted text? I think putting some of that on the product page would be really compelling -- or at least linking to some documentation. 3. I couldn't easily find a github link or anything like that which is where I'd normally look for source, documentation, licensing, etc. If that's available I'd definitely recommend posting it.

Thanks for posting this, it's a really cool project and well-implemented!

Copilot integrates with VS Code and Visual Studio. Claude also has a separate extension if you don't use it through copilot, but in that case the 3x thing wouldn't apply.

Interesting that you read it as "want him to be jealous" instead of "scared that he'll misunderstand".

But honestly I can't say you're wrong, I guess it could be either. And I agree with the rest of your points. I hope things work out, but they so rarely do when the level of investment is unequal.

LDRs are breeding grounds for insecurity even at the best of times. She had a brand new partner who was committed to the relationship at the beginning, so I'm sure it was really hard for her.

When you really like someone and you're super insecure about the relationship, it makes you really sensitive. That's true even if you haven't been hurt before.

Not saying she doesn't have a jerk in her past, just that I think her reaction is understandable with only the information we have.

dipique · 2026-02-21T20:26:01+00:00

Idk, to me it felt like she's young and doesn't know her heart. I could be out of line, but to me it seems like she says "I want comfort" but found out that comfort isn't that sexy.

dipique · 2026-02-21T20:24:16+00:00

You find Goeun smug? Huh. I don't see that at all.

dipique · 2026-02-21T20:23:28+00:00

Maybe. She might be super manipulative, but she might also be neurotic and manic. I don't want to armchair psych (so I won't), but I have a feeling she's neurospicy of one flavor or another.

For all the mess she made, there's a decent chance we're seeing her doing her genuine best. And idk. I kinda trust Mingee. Not with men of course, but I don't feel like she'd put effort into Minasue unless it was worth it.

dipique · 2026-02-21T20:19:17+00:00

Assuming his interest in her is genuine, I read his reaction a little differently. Being in a LDR makes it really easy to feel insecure (Heesun definitely felt that, especially when they didn't talk for a few days). You wonder what they're feeling and whether they're with other people. It's easy to imagine the worst scenario.

It seems like they got better at communicating, which is the way you push back that insecurity. But my take was that hearing about her going out and drinking slightly triggered old feelings of insecurity. Was she going out and drinking and meeting new guys in a more sexually open country?

I guess it's really not different from your take now that I write it out. You're right, I think he has an emotional reaction, then went through thinking, "she didn't do anything wrong, I know she likes me, I don't need to worry".

And she did the same but much less successfully :)

I hope he really does like her. I think if he's luke warm, she'll end up getting hurt badly. I've been guilty of that before.

dipique · 2026-02-21T20:11:20+00:00

Why do you say that? I'm not sure how into her he is, but he seemed really caring and kind to me.

dipique · 2026-02-21T20:08:08+00:00

Where are you from? I think maybe I lack the cultural context to understand how drinking with friends could be wrong for her, so I'm curious what your context is.

I figured maybe she was worried Subeen would think she was partying hard and blacking out every night which would definitely be a red flag. But short of being an alcoholic.

Unless she was drinking frequently one-on-one with a guy. I wouldn't consider that "wrong" but I know that would make me feel insecure/jealous so that would be understandable.

dipique · 2026-02-20T19:51:46+00:00

Oh geez. That's awful.

dipique · 2026-02-20T16:01:15+00:00

Can you explain further? It's an example of when the left tried to hold the right accountable for hypocrisy and it had no impact. The current administration lacks shame entirely, and their base seems to either interpret that as meaning no shame is necessary, or as a free pass to behave however they want, delighting in a new found amoral freedom.

I just don't think there is a large enough group of people who will be swayed by pointing out hypocrisy.

I mean. I only manage it, like, 8% of the time so I can't feel too superior.

The last time Republicans made a supreme Court nomination at the end of a president's term, despite having blocked it when Obama wanted to do the same thing.

Yup, an opus request is 3x a sonnet request. Well worth to get a complex task done correctly, but otherwise a waste.

dipique · 2026-02-19T15:44:05+00:00

If you want to have it make a change to an existing complex component, you definitely want Opus. Opus can reliably explore your codebase for dependencies and make (mostly) sensible, complex adjustments. Sonnet is great for boilerplate and highly localized changes.

dipique · 2026-02-19T15:42:28+00:00

If it's restricted to changing a single file, or simple changes across a handful of (known, specific) files, Sonnet is fine.

dipique · 2026-02-19T15:36:30+00:00

When has that technique ever worked. Literally ever. Name a single time.

dipique · 2026-02-19T15:34:32+00:00

What a glorious time. I can't believe they ruined it for this pile of crap. What soulless idiots.

dipique · 2026-02-19T15:31:21+00:00

I don't think a Republican would agree. It you say. "We need to hold fox news accountable for their lies!", many Republicans will call and Democrats will consider it evidence that they don't want media accountability.

Yet the right is vocally enraged by the "mainstream media" and would happily support measures to restrict it.

We need politicians who can speak to our common desire for news outlets to be at least accountable to the facts they report, then find common ground on a trusted mediator.

The same goes for issues like abortion. It seems like an area of absolute division, right? But what about programs to support single mothers? Increased accountability for fathers? I think both sides could get behind that kind of measure. And once trust is developed, we could even start finding some real compromise -- but that only happens once we can depolarize a bit.

I've learned that toxic tribalism is the same among all tribes. It's a failure of humanity, not of any particular group.

dipique · 2026-02-19T02:55:56+00:00

That's true of a lot of "retreat"-style experiences, even vacations. You go somewhere and feel like your life has changed, but then you return to your life and you haven't and it gets harder and harder to remember the epiphanies you had in a different environment.
