Code reviewers waste hours manually parsing complex diffs across multiple file types and languages

Developers and code reviewers struggle to quickly understand changes across diverse file types (code in 25+ languages, configs, images, PDFs, archives) because standard diff tools show raw, hard-to-parse output that requires mental effort to comprehend. This slows down code review cycles, increases merge time, and creates bottlenecks in CI/CD pipelines. Existing diff tools are either language-specific, slow on large files, or fail entirely on non-text content.

Show HN: OmniDiff – Opensource, super fast, content aware Git difftool, in Rust

I have been researching what the ultimate diff tool would look like, based on actual diffs in open source repositories. OmniDiff can diff: code (25 languages), config, images, PDFs, archives, cursors, fonts... It's fast. It can diff C++ files of tens of thousands of lines in under 100ms, on a 2023 T...
