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
ThroughLine
Your agentic design team. Design screens in Figma on your own design system or on a library your team already uses, or build a design system from scratch and sync it to code: tokens, components, docs and screens from one source, with checks that stop the build when something slips.
implement-design
Turn a Figma URL into fully implemented SLDS components — scaffolded, styled with design tokens, visually validated against the design, tested, documented, and reviewed. Supports Lit and Angular.
