Link to Wayback Diff? #60

Closed edsu closed 4 years ago

edsu commented 4 years ago

The Wayback Machine now has a diff view for comparing two versions of a page. For example:

https://web.archive.org/web/diff/20200204071550/20190921140148/https://www.anotheracronym.org/about/

When tweeting a URL it would be better to link to this diff rather than expecting users to be able to compare them in separate tabs.

For a VERY VERY hacky implementation check https://github.com/maehr/diffengine/blob/c8565d56b6f37eb8b765017dd6247d514519348a/diffengine/__init__.py#L449

Here you can see it in action: https://twitter.com/pressewatchdog

That's basically what needs to be done, yes!
