Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.
What each says it does
GitLab (Archived)
MCP Server for the GitLab API, enabling project management, file operations, and more.
vibekanban
VibeKanban is a dev progress kanban board that runs entirely inside Claude Code. When you code with Claude, every task is automatically tracked — started, completed, and reported — on a local kanban board with a browser-based UI. No cloud service, no sign-up, no npm install. Just a Python server on localhost and a single HTML file. Claude creates tasks when you ask for work, moves them through columns as progress happens, records git diff stats on completion, and writes work reports you can review later in the web UI. Multi-project support lets you manage several codebases from one board. Switch between projects with tabs, drag cards between columns, and view completed work grouped by date, category, or development phase.
