Watchman: Execute a command when something changes
Not sure what generated interest in this.
This was a project I did for my personal use case. But I haven't been using it since years. I'd recommend [entr](https://github.com/clibs/entr) for the use case watchman was to serve.

Show HN: Pystitcher – A Declarative Alternative to Pdftk
I've tested it against a 800 page compilation and didn't face any issues : https://github.com/captn3m0/pdp-book
It's obviously not fast enough for live-recompilations with very large projects, but for smaller projects I've run it against entr[0], and it was pretty good.

Any else using Meta's née Facebook's Watchman service?
Facebook Meta's Watchman Service looks very useful for watching for changes in files and directories to kick off automation. Still, there seem to be a bunch of gotchas with it that only come to light after trying to mess with it. The docs seem lacking, the Python library needs to be updated, and even the installation on non-Ubuntu or Red Hat distros requires a rebuild, which has been somewhat problematic given the build tools. Also, no official Docker container.

Watchman: Execute a command when something changes
Not to be confused with Facebook’s file watch daemon, which does the same sort of thing but is more complicated. There’s a bunch of tools that integrate Facebook’s watchman for more efficient change tracking.
