I need to fix the top header - make it consistent!
for sorting, i gave 2 button at the top which will show/hide upto date/older versions but i guess that makes sense to put older/mismatched versions on top!
requirements.txt from github, that`s an excellent suggestion will implement that.
Initially i thought of creating PyPi module and i created one but its python3 specific, i am yet to make it python2 compatible considering lot of users are still on py2.
BTW you can use POST query to get the output from command line in json format :)
@allanderek, thanks for all your suggestions!

You're welcome. Thanks for a useful site.
Would you like some code review of the source code done? I'm not sure how much time I'll have in the near future, but I can try?
But the actual app, is great. I like the output, but I would consider sorting them into those dependencies which are up to date and those which are not.
If you really want some extra user-friendlyness and learn a bit of the github API, that would be a cool way to accept input. Instead of copy&pasting the pip-freeze output, how about just your github repository link, you could then search for a requirements.txt (or similar), OR a first effort at this would be to allow users to link to a requirements.txt file, for example one hosted on github.
Finally, what about a spin-off pypi library to do this? I'd love to be able to do this from the command-line inside my project's directory.
