Congratulations on the launch. I find reviewing code on GitHub to be a pain too, so we came up with DiffLens ( https://github.com/marketplace/difflens ). DiffLens is only concerned with showing better diffs though, and d

Hi! Your comment about managing ad spend on facebook caught my eye. I've worked on AdTech before, especially reducing acquisition cost by using the Conversions API from Facebook. Just wondering if you've already tried that? If not

We're hoping we'll be part of future threads like this one with DiffLens ( https://github.com/marketplace/difflens ) for language aware diffs on GitHub :) The next step for DiffLens is potentially a VSCode exte

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!

Great post. I'm in the early days of trying to get DiffLens ( https://github.com/marketplace/difflens ) off the ground and saw myself nodding along to so many points! Having a boring backend service that pays is a g

Done. Thanks for the feedback about the screenshots. That makes sense! I'll update the text to include the demo :) Let me know if you have thoughts on the app itself!

Hi HN! We were frustrated with text diffs on GitHub PRs, so we made DiffLens ( https://github.com/marketplace/difflens ) to produce language aware diffs on PRs. DiffLens constructs an Abstract Syntax Tree for each file,

DiffLens developers here! ( https://github.com/marketplace/difflens ) We current use ACE for our editors, but we've always been interested in checking out CodeMirror too. When we initially started work on DiffLens,

FWIW, here's a repo of ANTLR grammars: https://github.com/antlr/grammars-v4 Many of them are incomplete, but it gives a good idea of how the grammar looks for ANTLR. I used the ANTLR grammar for parsing CSS in Dif

I'm most familiar with specifying grammar for the ANTLR tool. Just out of curiosity, is the antlr grammar a parsing expression grammar? Does anyone know? Separately, I'm curious about how a parser generated out of ANTLR/yacc

I wouldn't consider this cheating, I would rather call this preparation. Is looking at question banks before an exam considered cheating? I think this is in the same vein. Interviewers are people too, everyone knows there is a finite,

Perhaps I don't understand their use case fully, but it seems to me that every schema can be defined as a child protobuf message, and each child can then be added to a oneof field of a parent protobuf message. This way, you get the str

If you have a few minutes, can you list a few of these problems? Just curious here!

Difflens ( https://github.com/marketplace/difflens ) is a step in this direction. It produces syntax aware diffs for TS/JS and CSS at the moment.

I have! I've always found GitHub's default diff to be annoying to track changes. I needed a way to align the left and right editors right next to each other so I could get context. So I wrote an app and published it on the GitHub
