“Difftastic is a structural diff tool that compares files based on their syntax.”

Line-based diff has been the default for decades, and it still flags a whole block as changed when you only reindented it. Difftastic parses the code and highlights the pieces of syntax that actually changed. It knows when whitespace matters and when it is just indentation. Every code review tool should work this way.
