meld VS spacedrive

Even simpler:

Step 1: give me your edited `.tex` file.

Step 2: I selectively merge it into mine.

Step 3: There is no step 3.

To selectively merge, I use `meld` https://meldmerge.org/ but there are others.

Benefits of this even simpler approach:

- We continue to use the tools we are used to.

- We and our software don't have to learn a new inline diff format.

- Both files retain valid syntax before and during the selective merge.

- I can choose chunks to accept with a simple mouse click instead of editing a diff chunk.

While we're requesting killer features, https://meldmerge.org/ style diffs, please.

Why do you need ChatGPT? There are hundreds of diffing tools available that do this quite well. Meld is my favorite: https://meldmerge.org/

Thanks, just today I daecided that the current status of Meld (https://meldmerge.org/) was untenable for me.

It used to be a fast program, with a reasonable interface.

For a long time now its interface has been "simplifed" following GNOME 3's User Interface Guidelines, and everything ended up being hidden inside a hamburger menu.

But what definitely made it untenable was not the UI, but its tendency to crash and being really slow under the slightest load.

I was considering contributing to the project, but honestly a better engineered alternative would be welcome.

Thanks for the info (and thanks Kai Willadsen for Meld).

I’m looking for recommendations for the best visual diff and merge tool available on macOS. I’ve done my research as below but have some reservations about the options I found. - Meld seems to get mentioned a lot but the website syas it is not officially supported on OS X. Are the third party binaries trustworthy? - Beyond Compare is also mentioned but the developer website doesn’t inspire much confidence.

https://meldmerge.org/ ?

So, I use Meld for viewing complex diffs (:silent !meld . &). For interactivity, of course, I use the terminal and Vim, such as lazygit and tig, and fugative and gitgutter (or equivalents).

You bet. (Just copied the text of both into Meld and looked for genuine differences, in case you'd like to have an easy way for the future.) Thanks for doing all that you do here!

WinMerge would be my recommendation on windows, Meld on everything else

Meld - visual diff and merge tool: compare files, directories, and version controlled projects

In the video, Mo talked about a few packages like Cidre and StrOm, and we referred to SpaceDrive.

AGPLv3 (switched in 2022 https://github.com/spacedriveapp/spacedrive/commit/8e5c71dea... ) and FWIW I don't see any mention of CLA or other license assignment, so I don't believe they can currently rug pull containing contributed changes since they don't own the license for them: https://github.com/spacedriveapp/spacedrive/blob/main/CONTRI...

Already opened a bug report for that: https://github.com/spacedriveapp/spacedrive/issues/1481

While Electron wouldn't be on top of my wishlist, if it looked nice and was functional I wouldn't mind at all. I found this project https://github.com/spacedriveapp/spacedrive which uses Tauri and seems to be very interesting, but they haven't released yet

In Tauri (or Axum) the app compiles to a single binary. rspc is the key to this because it allows for multiple transports with the frontend. It supports both Tauri IPC, HTTP or websockets. Our core crate (at ./core) exports an rspc router that is transport agnostic then within the apps (at ./apps/desktop or ./app/server) we expose it with a transport. We use Tauri IPC for desktop and websockets for Axum because we use subscriptions. Then in the wrapper React project (at ./apps/desktop/src/App.tsx) we create the rspc client with the Tauri link, mount its React context and then mount the app package (). You can give the codebase a look if you want cause it’s all open source https://github.com/spacedriveapp/spacedrive

Taking a departure from REST and GraphQL, I'd suggest checking out rspc instead of GraphQL and Prisma Client Rust as your ORM. Both have been developed by a coworker and I for Spacedrive, the company we work for, and have provided what we believe is the best Rust + TypeScript stack that doesn't use GraphQL (new GrpahQL server incoming one day tho).

This might help https://github.com/spacedriveapp/spacedrive
