Creator here. Bibcitation is a free online tool to help students easily create citations and generate bibliographies.

Last year, I came to realize that most of the citation tools that existed were outdated and had interfaces optimized for ad views, not for usability. They went so far into this that they became almost impossible to use.

I set out to develop my own citation tool that would be reliable and optimized for usability, both by not being designed around ads and by taking advantage of the latest advances in web app technology.

I'm still looking for more features to implement so if you have any comments or questions, I’d be happy to discuss them with you.

While Kaleidoscope is Mac only, Diffchecker is cross-platform and still under active development. We just released Dark Mode and Spreadsheet diff is on the way (while Kaleidoscope has seemingly stopped development in late 2017).

It's still a great tool though that works for a lot of people.

Hello everyone!

Diffchecker is a simple online tool that will help users check the difference between two files. When I first launched the tool in 2011, it could only check the difference between two text files within a browser. Now, Diffchecker has become a powerful utility that can also compare images, PDF files, and directories. We’ve also recently released dark mode for desktop.

Although Diffchecker has been posted to Hacker News years ago, this is the first time we’ve posted it ourselves. If you have any comments or questions, I’d be happy to discuss them with you.

I love this! Opening a browser or even a new tab is always such a distraction to my workflow, I'm super excited to try this out

Hey guys! I wanted to develop a simple tool that would help web designers and developers quickly edit SVG files in code and convert them to whatever they want. Let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions on how to improve it!

Advertising takes up a lot of it.

That's how I develop. Since I use vim anyways, I just ssh into a linux dev server from my windows box and code right on the server with the only delay being latency. 99% of what I do can be done in the command line so I end up with few problems.

I didn't know there was a demand for document diffs.

I created http://diffchecker.com but it's mostly meant for programmers.

Is there a significant improvement in experience if I allow document uploads versus them copy and pasting the document contents?
