Workshop Builds

Every line carefully crafted. No shortcuts — just clean code.

● Live

Diff Gnome

A CLI-first tool for cross-database verification and repair. Compare, sync, dedupe, and restore across MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server — with chunked diffing, recursive drill-down, preflight doctor checks, and batch config support.
