I am the maintainer of the free and open source python library, redlines. Redlines produces a text showing the differences between two strings/text. The changes are represented with strike-throughs and underlines, which looks similar to Microsoft Word's track changes. This method of showing changes is more familiar to lawyers and is more compact for long series of characters.

It started out as a side project of a side project, but has grown from strength to strength for over three years. Now as Benevolent Dictator for Life (BDFL), I plan where this package goes, listen to feedback and fix bugs. Unpaid.

I don't know why it is downloaded several thousand times a day. It must be very useful.
