You mean floro (your nearby comment mentions it)?

Hmm this looks more like na attempt at building better merger by getting rid of unstructured text and replacing it with some kind of structured/hierarchical data.

I think that this can be useful but I don't see how this helps to solve general problem of visualizing diffs between workflow versions (and making it readable and mergeable for mere mortals)

Yeah, sorry (as I said in the below comment the site is super incomplete, showing screenshots of visual diffs is actually not that easy and I am yet to upload a demo video). Probably can’t give a great pitch here but the whole thing is based around building diffable plugins (which are really just html documents that are run in an iframe). Most of the documentation at this point is based on teaching version control to mortals rather than demoing the 4 diffable applications I made to launch with. But it really is built for mortals and is generalized so anyone can build applications that can meaningfully diff.

There’s some snippets of a visual diff in the docs here https://floro.io/docs/product/product-and-terms. If you do want to give feedback or see a demo I’d love to chat. Again, my email is in my bio.
