If you don't mind me asking, how do you implement the visual diff? Is it just based on a diff of cad files? Are they just text? Or do you have to use gerbers?

That's the magical part! We implement visual diff on the native design itself to make sure you get the most accurate diffs on your projects.

They specifically enumerate supported ECAD tools, so they must be specific to each tool.
