"After I linked difftastic, one of my friends immediately used difftastic to find a stealthy bug, five stars!"

I don't have much data on difftastic usage, and I suspect most users get it from the packages provided by their distro. There's been a clear uptick in stars since I built a homepage in the last month or two though! (The first big bump is when it hit Hacker News.)
