Thanks for the feedback. We hire devs based on talent not language so feel free to apply. FlyCode is able to identify changes made in a commit and identify a text is the same according to the semantic structure of the code but of course it is not 100%. In many cases though texts stay in about the same place and when moved they change their meaning and should be treated differently

I found some clue on the docs' TEXTS section.

> if the format is hardcoded, the name of the component in which the text resides would be the title

So it's component based tracking, though inside-component is hard to form context (e.g. line/column tracking won't work) even if you have AST of javascript. When code changes, AST changes (tree nodes tracking won't work either).

Interesting approach not to use hole like `{{ }}`.
