I wish more engineering tools had an equivalent of diff. Manually redlining schematics and drawings is such a pain.

  that's a really interesting idea. Many formats representing drawings like SVG and Kicad Schematics are text formats, not binary. They can be diffed, and it's a matter of rendering the diff as part of the drawing, not as text. I wonder if anyone is working on such a thing.

    AllSpice.io provides graphical diffs for KiCad schematic and PCB files (and others) in a Gitea-based forge: https://allspice.io/ https://allspice.io/ Disclosure: I work there (mostly on binary formats), it's a paid service
