Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
- The Java UI is dated and requires a proprietary graph visualization libray
- BinDiff native plugins for IDA Pro and binary Ninja cannot embedd a high-quality graph view
- The current workflow with the standalone UI is cumbersome and few people actually use "BinDiff Workspaces".
Describe the solution you'd like
- Implement a UI using Typescript and web technologies. D3.js with the DAG layouter should be able to support the flow graph use cases and render to Canvas.
- Have the
bindiffexecutable launch a server for this and either embed a web view in the disassemblers or show the browser.
Describe alternatives you've considered
- Gephi
- Extracting the graphing library from Ghidra
- Implementing a new desktop UI in Qt
Additional context
This should eventually become a "GitHub Project".
