As someone who spends a lot of time on Jira (unfortunately), I've always found the default diff view for issue descriptions hard to read. So I decided to create a Chrome extension to address this problem.

As a matter of fact, there's been an open ticket for Atlassian to implement this feature in Jira for over 14 years now. Yes, you read that right - 14 years... While we're all still waiting for an official solution, I thought I'd create something to help in the meantime.

The extension is called 'Jira Diff Highlighter', and it transforms the standard Jira diffs into a side-by-side comparison with highlighted changes. Here are some key features:

- Enhanced readability with a side-by-side view

- Color-coded highlights for additions, deletions, and modifications

- Efficient display of large changes without cluttering the view

- Easy toggle between enhanced and original diff views - Works across multiple Jira tabs

The extension is open-source, so you can check out the code, contribute, or report issues on the GitHub repo if you're interested: https://github.com/richiehowelll/jira-diff

You can find it on the Chrome Web Store by searching for 'Jira Diff Highlighter' or following this link: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/jira-diff-highlight...
