eAndon VS dupver

https://github.com/vitplanocka/eAndon

I'm making an Andon signalling application that can be used to visualize production line problems in a manufacturing company.

Andon is a powerful tool in the lean manufacturing concept, because it highlights problems, raises employee awareness, and encourages responsible persons to solve them quickly.

There are many commercial packages available but they are often very expensive or inflexible. I feel that many companies would greatly benefit from having such a system but don't have it due to the costs involved.

I work with a lot of uncompressed structured binary files so I finally broke down and wrote my own system based on the Restic chunker: https://github.com/akbarnes/dupver

I wound up writing dupver https://github.com/akbarnes/dupver after getting frustrated with the lack of versioning tools for binary files. One neat thing about .docx files and their ilk is that they are "just" zip files so it isn't hard to add special handling to pull out their contents and run deduplication over that.

DupVer https://github.com/akbarnes/dupver is a deduplicating version control system for large binary files. It's designed to keep state in a repository on the local machine separate from the working directory so it plays nice with cloud synchronization software.

I started it after constant headaches involving Git LFS and the corporate proxy. It's based around the Restic chunker library, with inspiration from both the Duplicacy backup software and Boar, another binary version control system for large binary files.
