DiffMerge.com browser based Diff and Merge solution launched
For those who work with code - you may want to take a look at this site I recently built and launched (still in beta).http://diffmerge.com/ Here's the description: DiffMerge.com will provide a browser based 'Diff' and 'Merge' solution, which is the process of comparing two files, identifying what is different, then merging the documens to create a new doc. DiffMerge begins with selecting what you want to compare using any of the following methods: URL, TextArea (copy/paste your content) or file upload. Currently, only the URL method is enabled. After submission of the form, the user will see a split screen with the two documents below, and the start of the final merged document above. Each document's unique content is color coded to point out it's location in your documents. In the merged document, the user will click on an icon next to the version of the content they wish to remove, leaving behind the selection they wish to keep in the final version. Users also have the option of clicking on any line to edit it. Simply click on the text, and a text area will display with save and cancel buttons. Once all selections have been made, the user can click on a button at the top of the page to generate their merged document. Later on, I'll addin the option for generating a 'new' file with a name, but for now, the final results display in the main frame and you have to copy/paste it to your computer/doc/etc. =========== The site and service are free, and I plan to expose the site's functionality through Web Services - which means the application 'could' be integrated into other solutions (as long as a browser window is used to display the results). Even if you don't know what Diff/Merge is, you can give it a try. I have the site set up to work with a copy of Yahoo.com - just hit the site, leave the DEMO selected - and run DiffMerge. Chances are, you won't find a need for DiffMerge. It's not something people tend to use unless they are dealing with code. For the most part, it was an experiment for me, I wanted to see if I could do it, and if it would actually work... and it does! I may release the code as Open Source - I just need to spend some more time with the project and research it some more before I make that choice. It's written in ColdFusion and uses the Prototype Javascript library.
If you have any feedback after trying it, or have some ideas on how DiffMerge could be used, contact me at http://www.markenmedia.com/.
