Thanks everyone for the feedback! I made this tool for myself and other entrepreneurs, not just lawyers. Last year when I was negotiating with investors I often wanted to diff their changes against my original forms. A tool like this would have helped me. I recognize that there are many challenges involved in selling to lawyers, and I'm talking to lawyers about that. Here on HN I was hoping I would hear about how DocCompare is or isn't helpful to entrepreneurs, investors and hackers.

The last funding round I was involved in, I used a combination of mercurial (show changes over time) and scripted Word diffs. It worked really well. And there's no chance I would have uploaded any of it to a site or server I didn't control. Just one datapoint.

Very cool! But you really ought to talk to some lawyers about their use of it because solicitor-client privilege is pretty important and uploading it to website X sounds like disclosing the documents to X.
