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
Short.io
Access to Short.io's link shortener and analytics tools.
viral-launch-pipeline
A 21-agent orchestrator for viral product launches. One skill coordinates parallel web research (YouTube, X, Reddit, industry), manager-critiqued hook and giveaway writing, a body specialist chain (weapons, controversy, technical, flow), a Mom Test for mass-market readability, and multi-channel delivery (X-thread, LinkedIn post, ProductHunt copy). Manager loops force rewrites until the rubric passes, with a full paper trail and resumable state.
