exiftool-vendored.js VS Nullboard

Know that although ExifTool is written in perl, you can run it in "batch mode" which makes it quite fast--only a couple of ms to parse a file. I've written an open source library to manage the subprocesses for you if you're using node.js (and I also wrote the ruby variant ages ago):

https://github.com/photostructure/exiftool-vendored.js

The frontend is in Vue. Both the FE and BE are in TypeScript.

Parallelism is provided by https://github.com/photostructure/batch-cluster.js/

Metadata reads and writes are via https://github.com/photostructure/exiftool-vendored.js/

if you're looking into doing stuff with EXIF, there's a really good library that's also typed: https://github.com/photostructure/exiftool-vendored.js

I needed a good Node wrapper for ExifTool and wrote https://github.com/photostructure/exiftool-vendored.js

When I saw how slow it is to fork child processes in Windows, I then realized I wanted to run ExifTool in "stay-open" mode, which meant I needed to manage 1 or more long-lived child processes that communicate via stdin/stdout, so I wrote https://github.com/photostructure/batch-cluster.js

I also really missed scala's `lazy` operator, so I built that (and several other small, helpful functions/classes) that I documented here: https://photostructure.com/coding/uncertain-lazy-forgetful-a...

Hello, HN! I'd like to introduce you to nbagent[0], an open-source alternative backup agent for Nullboard[1] for Unix systems. If you, like me, are a fan of Nullboard's simplicity and you've been looking for an easy way to have your data backed up, check it out.

I'd love to hear your feedback on nbagent. Please feel free to leave comments, suggestions, or questions below.

Surprisingly no one has mentioned nullboard (https://nullboard.io/preview) yet. Just a single file JSON to carry around the entire board.

Nullboard maybe?

minimalist kanban board, without fancy tagging/time tracking/... features. Every game has a column, and notes are player names. nullboard would be perfect if it wasn't local only;

Nullboard - cool simple project, no bug tracking

Nullboard - Kanban board with dark mode, localStorage, and thoughtful UI

I use and like https://nullboard.io/preview nullboard which runs in the browser. Because it uses local data, you need to save it or the data is lost when you close the browser window.
