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
claude-cast
Stream Twitch, YouTube, and Kick live streams alongside your Claude Code sessions. Audio plays via mpv, live chat scrolls in a neo-blessed TUI side pane with colored usernames and badges, and an animated waveform visualizer shows playback status. Three layout modes (compact, rich, minimal), full slash command control (/claude-cast pause, mute, volume, stop), and keyboard shortcuts for hands-free control. Twitch chat works zero-config, YouTube and Kick supported out of the box. Runs in a tmux split pane so your coding workflow stays uninterrupted.
