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
animation
Make motion-graphics videos with Claude and plain JavaScript, no video generator: every frame is a pure function of time, Playwright renders it in headless Chromium, FFmpeg stitches the frames into an MP4, and a contact-sheet check loop catches defects before delivery. setup builds the engine and proves it with a 2-second test render; make runs intake, story beats and one storyboard still per beat for approval before writing the full scene code, then checks and renders. Subcommands: setup, make.
