I have used the code shared by him to improvise and develop this extension. I would share the code of this extension on github soon.

This extension compares any two objects or its records (could be from same org or different orgs) and highlights all the differences found. It can show you the following
– Which fields are missing in target org.
– Which fields are missing in source org
– which fields have metadata difference (change in formula, datatype , required etc.)
– which fields have data value mismatch
Please watch the video tutorial available @ http://youtu.be/mkarbbYWveY to understand the exact functionality and its uses.
Steps to compare Object Metadata:
1. Open up the custom object definition or it’s list view or any of it’s record in salesforce. This is your source record. Click on the extension icon and then click on the “Select Source Record” button.
2. After that, open up the custom definition of the same object or it’s list view or the record (could be from same org or different org). This is your target record. Click on the extension icon and then click on the “Select Target record” button.
3. The extension would create a popup and in that show you all the differences that were found.
Steps to compare Record Values:
