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
Next.js DevTools
next-devtools-mcp is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides Next.js development tools and utilities for AI coding assistants.
design-qa
Gate a UI before it is called done: check the build, not the design file. Three deterministic stdlib scripts: a finish linter that blocks on controls that do nothing, dead links, placeholder copy and removed focus rings, and warns on template defaults; an interaction-state checker that derives loading, empty, error, busy and focus states from each surface's kind and blocks when they are missing or unevidenced; and a rendered audit that reads a browser snapshot and blocks on WCAG 2.2 AA failures in contrast, focus visibility, focus obscured, reflow at 320 px, accessible names and target size. Ships a read-only snapshot collector, an optional Playwright keyboard pass, cs-design-qa agent, /cs-design-qa and /cs-ui-finish-lint commands, 3 cited references and a finish sign-off.
