Couple of things.
Firstly, nice tool. I think it will come in handy.
Second: I found that trailing spaces on a list member would stop it from matching. Is this intentional? Could there be a setting to override it.
Third: on an iPhone the 'left' and 'right' text boxes are shown underneath each other.
Fourth: the comparison is case sensitive. Could there be an option for this as well.
Sorting could be a lot more configurable. You may want to pick a range of characters to sort, or provide a custom comparer (in JavaScript)
Nice tool though. So simple but so handy. Sure beats writing a VLookup!

Very nice tool, thanks for sharing! Bookmarked.

One note / bug?: If an element in either list has trailing whitespace, it won't match the same element in the other list, but without the whitespace. For example, the intersection of "john " (left list) and "john" (right list) returns 0 results. (Is this behavior as intended?)

@Jon & Don

Currently eating breakfast. Will fix trimming of white space when on bus to work. Upload tonight. This is programming in the margins.

Fixed while on bus. Will release tonight.

Released a fix to the problem with trimming whitespace.

Another very cool idea + implementation

Do you know of something which removes duplicates from both of two lists? E.g. there are 1 2 3 4 in one list and 1 2 3 4 5 6 in the other. The application provides a third list with just 5 6 in it.

Sorry 'bout that. I figured it out. Now I do not understand Nimble Text.

@Traconovick
Yep, so in the example you gave, you'd plug those lists into the left and right text areas and then hit the 'right only' button, and you'd get 5 and 6 as the answer.

NimbleText is a much more powerful tool, there's a help article here: http://nimbletext.com/Home/Help
