This is pretty cool, and seems to be useful in order to compare various "3D model" generators that are around, would make the comparison a bit easier to make.
Given it runs client-side, could you potentially offer like a CLI as well, or something we could integrate with other things / CI? That'd be a really nifty way of generating these diffs for later inspection.

Had the same wish after one second of rotating one pane.
Another thing that came to my mind quickly, whether it would be possible that for one object whose dimension was changed, for instance it was enlarged/shrinked in the x axis by x millimeter, to just highlight those x millimeter of difference. Similar for rotation and shift.

- Multi group objs are ignored, I only see first group.
- When uploading same file twice, you should warn about it like meld does (meld says: File /home/foo/Downloads/D_LED_3mm.obj is being compared to itself)

Very cool work! Nice job. Road-map looks good too! I always appreciate client/local-first emphasis. I have been seeing a lot of great in-browser apps coming out via 3js,wasm,etc (THANK YOU LLMs)

Suggestion: add more than one demo. The default demo right now is a little un-interesting, I'd love to be able to swap that out for a few other ones that show more complex objects.

Will look into mobile scalability issue with projscope.com

Anyway, cool!

And maybe as a preview option between branches ?
