Does this program offer any advantage over opening 2 of some document editor you want to use, loading the same file twice, and placing the windows side by side?
This current version no. I would even say that currently it's sub par to using two already good programs (as you suggested). I don't really believe this current version provides any value, hence it's free. And I'm gladly open about it.
The next version, however, introduces storage of full draft history in the scribe files. So to make it possible in a future release to jump between drafts when comparing. The central idea is reducing complexity, focusing on drafting and having it all in one place. Even in the long run, the program will rely on the export functionality for publishing. Think exporting to word, markdown, html, etc.
The work is on going and I'll expect to make some updates once my exams period is over :) keep in mind, this is my pet project!
