Rift
See what really changed in files, folders, data and images
Hi Product Hunt! ๐ Most diff tools show which lines changed. Rift shows what actually changed. ๐ Detect moved files โ๏ธ Smart JSON, YAML & XML diffs ๐ Compare Excel & CSV by row ID ๐ผ๏ธ Image sliders & heatmaps โก Compare 1 GB files in ~13 seconds ๐ฟ Git history & merge conflict resolution ๐ 100% local. Nothing uploaded. Plus, a CLI for scripts and CI. Weโd love your feedback! What should we build next?
Iโve used diff tools for years, and one thing always bugged me. They show which lines changed, but not what changed.
Say I move a function to the bottom of a file. My diff tool shows 40 lines deleted and 40 lines added, when really one thing moved. Or a formatter touches the whole file and I canโt find the one real change.
So I built Rift to show what really changed:
Code: you see a list of the functions and classes that changed. Moved code shows as โmovedโ. Renamed code shows as โrenamedโ. Formatting is ignored. On my test files, this meant reading about a third of the lines.
Merge conflicts: if you and a teammate changed different functions, Rift keeps both changes for you.
Folders: a moved file shows as moved, not as deleted and added.
JSON, YAML, Excel, CSV: you see the exact setting or cell that changed.
Images: compare them with a slider or a heatmap.
Big files: two 1 GB files compare in about 13 seconds.
It works on Windows, Mac and Linux. Everything runs on your computer, and nothing is uploaded.
Itโs still early, and Iโd really love your honest feedback. What annoys you most about diff tools today? What should I build next?
Thanks for checking it out!
