Textual Diff View ships terminal diffs

Textual Diff View is a Textual widget for rendering file diffs in the terminal with syntax-aware highlighting, split or unified layouts, and optional change annotations for readability. It is built for Textual-based console apps, but can also be used standalone, and it originated inside the Toad project.

// ANALYSIS

Hot take: this is a genuinely useful TUI primitive rather than a demo widget, because it solves a real code-review workflow inside console-native apps.

–Strong fit for Python/Textual developers who want a native diff experience without dropping into a browser.
–The split vs unified toggle makes it flexible for both side-by-side comparison and compact terminal review.
–Annotation support is a practical accessibility win, not just a visual flourish.
–The scope is narrow, which is good here: it does one job and appears to do it cleanly.
