Side-by-side or overlay PDF diff driven by one engine that reads each file into a structured model — text, vector geometry, images, form fields, annotations — and compares the models. Moves show as moves, edits show only where they happened, and any PDF type works without picking a mode.
Open a STEP / STP part and it measures itself — volume, thinnest wall, draft and undercut checks on load, plus hole detection with a BOM. Measure, section, export STL. Rust + WASM B-rep kernel, runs in your browser.
Wheat bran and a little maize flour are stirred into water with some sediment from the last batch and left in a loosely closed vessel for two or three days. Lactic bacteria and yeasts turn the liquid sour, and it is strained off to sour ciorbă soups or to drink. Made in 4 steps over 2 days – 3 days. The longest step, leave to sour in a loosely closed vessel, takes 2–3 days (Pasqualone A 2018) and runs at 14–15 °C (Pasqualone A 2018). Lactic acid bacteria, mostly lactobacilli; Lactobacillus amylolyticus the most common and abundant species and Yeasts Pichia kudriavzevii and Kluyveromyces marxianus do most of the fermenting.
Sediment from the previous batch (huște), as starter · The first batch ferments without it[pasqualone2018]
Sour cherry leaves, lovage or dill (optional) · For flavour[pasqualone2018]
A slice of bread, often black bread (optional) · Sometimes added to start the fermentation[zugravu2025]
Starter
backslop (huște sediment from the previous batch); the first starter comes from spontaneous fermentation

What makes this one different
Borș is a sour liquid, not a porridge or a beer. Wheat bran is the main substrate, and the sediment of each batch starts the next one. It is a different thing from beetroot borscht.
Commercial borșUsually pasteurised; two retail samples measured pH 3.3 and 3.4.
Cibere (Hungary)The historical Hungarian name for a similar bran sour.
Safety
Strains isolated from borș inhibited Listeria monocytogenes in laboratory tests, and finished borș reaches about pH 3.3–3.4. Keep it cold once strained.
