Note
This project is not under active maintenance as Twitter's codebase seems to rapidly change. This is not something I particularly want to keep up with. I may revisit this in the future with a better implementation that doesn't rely on shaky class parsing.
twiffs is a browser extension that a native-like experience for showing diff highlighting for edited tweets.
twiffs uses a dynamic programming solution to the LCS problem to find the common subsequence between two selected tweets, and highlights them accordingly.
By leveraging native twitter elements, twiffs has a near-native feeling to it.
