Show HN: A stab at building my own string diffing library
Having looked at the code a bit I stumbled onto this:
https://github.com/alexmacarthur/striff/blob/master/src/util...
This... can't be right.
Can you explain how your algorithm differs from, in particular, this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_subsequence_pro...
Also, why does it differ from that?
- Here’s my ~600 byte (minified, gzipped) package for diffing two strings.
- I built a ~600 byte string diffing library.
- GitHub - alexmacarthur/striff: Real simple string diffing.
- Striff: A < 600 byte string diffing package.

Ideas for approaching pattern matching/distance problem
I also came across this diff match algorithms: https://github.com/google/diff-match-patch

Form editing, changelogs, and progressive diffing - am I reinventing the wheel?
Outside of that, to get the diffs there is a library called diff-match-patch that has implementations in most languages. Your data model / state tracking sounds like it matches the internal constraints.

Here’s my ~600 byte (minified, gzipped) package for diffing two strings.
So I'll just leave you with this question - why, as a developer, would I ever advise using this, when fast diff is an industry standard tool that does exactly this, but better, using well tested methods that are being implemented in JS and further optimized by one of the largest global tech companies. Mind you, this is the same company which has developed its own proprietary monolithic VCS, managing versioning for 2billion+ lines of code.

Show HN: Character-Based Git Conflict Resolution
Hello HN!
I was always annoyed by conflicts that can be solved automatically, but still need human intervention. E.g. two people changing the same line, but at different, non-conflicting positions. So I searched for a character based patching library and found this nice article https://neil.fraser.name/writing/patch/ and its corresponding library https://github.com/google/diff-match-patch.
Parsing git conflicts, applying patches and showing some useful diffs in the UI helps me to solve 80% of my conflicts automatically. I hope it can help you too.
Happy Hacking!

Ask HN: What are the best the publicly available FAMANG code repos?
Found this, simple and seems interesting: https://github.com/google/diff-match-patch

Getting the difference of two strings
If you need to know exactly what the diff is, you might want to use something like github.com/google/diff-match-patch. Otherwise, a simple Levenshtein distance would suffice. This library seems to have a whole bunch of string distances implemented. Hope this helps!
