About this page
Two texts, compared: paste yesterday’s draft on one side and today’s on the other, press compare, and read the revision as one text—what was cut struck through in a muted tone, what arrived resting on a faint warm tint. After the first comparison the result follows your edits on its own.
Questions
Where do my texts go?
Nowhere. Both texts are compared entirely in this browser and kept only in its local storage so an accidental tab close loses nothing—they are never uploaded or sent anywhere.
How large can the texts be?
Essays and stories of several thousand words compare comfortably. The page first matches whole paragraphs and then looks inside the changed ones, so even long drafts stay quick; only two texts with almost nothing in common take noticeably longer.
What is the difference between word and character comparison?
Word mode treats each word as the unit, which reads best for prose. Character mode looks inside the words themselves, so a fixed typo or a changed ending shows as the two or three letters that actually moved, not the whole word.
Can I compare drafts of an essay or story?
Yes—that is what the page is for. Paste the earlier draft on the left and the later one on the right, and the result shows the revision as a reader would see it.
More instruments: a text cleaner, a word counter and a blank page to write on—or see all of them.
