A nice feature to add could be a synchronized transform: when rotating one viewport the other two rotate along (optional).

Ok so stl here is not standard template library. I was very confused for a minute.

Looks handy. Feature suggestion: locked views so all three viewports rotate together.

Very cool work! Nice job. Road-map looks good too! I always appreciate client/local-first emphasis. I have been seeing a lot of great in-browser apps coming out via 3js,wasm,etc (THANK YOU LLMs)

- Fovea ArchVision (also not directly affiliated, but can attest that the team are great people.)

Yo this would be cool to have embedded as a PR trigger on GitHub for 3d files
And maybe as a preview option between branches ?

This is pretty cool, and seems to be useful in order to compare various "3D model" generators that are around, would make the comparison a bit easier to make.
Given it runs client-side, could you potentially offer like a CLI as well, or something we could integrate with other things / CI? That'd be a really nifty way of generating these diffs for later inspection.

- Multi group objs are ignored, I only see first group.
- When uploading same file twice, you should warn about it like meld does (meld says: File /home/foo/Downloads/D_LED_3mm.obj is being compared to itself)

Wow, just needed something like this literally yesterday, thanks OP.

Wow! This looks really cool! Looking forward to playing more with this?

Should be "Show HN"

cool thanks

I built Meshdiff because clients keep sending me part_v3_FINAL.stl and I have no quick way to see what changed.
Drop two STL/3MF/OBJ files → voxel diff renders in your browser. Green = added material, red = removed. Adjustable tolerance (0.05–1mm). Volume delta metrics.
Privacy first: zero upload to any server. Everything runs client-side in a Web Worker.
Stack: React + TypeScript, React Three Fiber, custom voxel diff engine. No Manifold/CGAL — those assume clean CSG topology; real-world STLs are triangle soup.
If you work with 3D prints, try breaking it with your weirdest files. Real-world meshes are chaos and I need the stress test.
