DiffLens: Language Aware Diffs on GitHub Pull Requests

Re:DiffLens: Language Aware Diffs on GitHub Pull Requests by jshawl on Thursday June 09, 2022 @08:45AM (#31680523)

I was curious about trying out my own diff so I went to the home page: https://www.difflensapp.com/ and didn't see an option.

It would be interesting to be able to append a github compare / pr / tree-ish link to see the diff via difflens, so maybe something like:

https://www.difflensapp.com/github.com/rails/rails/commit/7d...

would render that diff via diff lens. just an idea to get more people testing.

Ah yea we had the same thought a while back so, yes, that's in the works :) The biggest drawback here is that there are rate limits to the GitHub API. It should work for just trying out some diffs though. Thanks for the feedback!
