Announcing diff.rs!
It works by fetching a crate's metadata from crates.io, downloading the sources using reqwest, uncompressing them using flate2, extracting them (using tar), and finally rendering a diff (using similar). In the UI you can switch between different versions of the crate to diff against and it also has a search bar to enter the crate name.
