Show HN: Delta – view your Git split diffs in the browser
delta.octavore.comThis looks pretty cool, but why do you need to "run" delta rather than having it dump out the static HTML? I'd love to use this as server-less review: "Oh, I've got this local diff on my box, here look at this HTML for a prettified view".
Good idea! There's already a way to print out html to the command line, but it should really be the same as what gets rendered in the browser. I've added a Github issue to track. this.
Nice but the diff's fail contrast levels for accessibility. I have trouble with contrast and I can barely read the diffs and certainly wouldn't use it for any serious amount of time.
Do you have examples of a color scheme which would work better, or other suggestions on how we could improve it? I'm thinking the ability to customize color schemes would be a useful feature to add.
Not really actually, I was going to recommend Solarized[1] and base16[2] but both fail to pass AAA according to WAVE[3]. I'd recommend installing the WAVE extension for Chrome or Firefox as a start point.
