We want our diff algorithm to feel better to use. We are currently using the diff library to implement diffs (see the file findDiffs for our implementation).

The main issues are:

  1. Creating too many diffs, which a human would join together.
  2. Abuply changing diffs when the user creates / removes newlines.

If you have a smoother diffing algorithm in mind, we are open to contributions to the findDiffs.ts file.
