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

Live graph, runtime, visual, and performance checks plus bounded repair prevent partial scaffolds from being called finished. Local-first, 114 MCP tools, no signup or hosted model dependency.
Glif
Generate images, video, and audio with Glif's media-generation agent
