libheif VS budibase

Apple doesn't own HEIF, there are open implementations for reading all variants of it. Here's a browser-side implementation: https://alexcorvi.github.io/heic2any/

The image crate is the de facto crate for raster images. It doesn't have HEIF support, which is probably why libheif-rs was brought in (it's simply a wrapper for libheif, which is what lots of programs, including GIMP and ImageMagick, use for HEIF support).

Libheif has Go bindings https://github.com/strukturag/libheif/tree/master/go/heif. I used this library for AVIF (via libaom) but it should work for HEIF (via libde265.)

libheif provides a pixbuf loader that should make it work.

Note that there is no checking for valid parameters when using the prefix. BUGS Please reports bugs or issues at https://github.com/strukturag/libheif AUTHORS Dirk Farin, struktur AG COPYRIGHT Copyright © 2017 struktur AG

They use https://github.com/strukturag/libheif to decode it and just ignore the patent or licensing requirements. This is similar to how vlc's libavcodec implements HEVC/h264 (they say "we're french, software patents have no jurisdiction here")

As far as I understand, imagemagick uses libheif under the hood, which can be installed with apt install libheif-dev

Budibase is great at generating CRUD apps based on a model.

Congratulations to the Airplane team.

Is this Airtable moving in the direction of low-code rather than no code? Puts them up against tools like Budibase [https://github.com/Budibase/budibase] and Retool [Https://retool.com]

I skipped to chapter 9 in the article ("Clogged"), and it looked like Pipes failed because it didn't have a large enough team or a well-defined mission. As a result they couldn't offer a super robust product that would lure in enterprise users. "You could not purchase some number of guaranteed-to-work Pipes calls per month" is the quote from the article.

The reason I think that interesting is because that's the model these days for everything from AI tokens to Monday.com seats. It makes me feel like Pipes was before its time.

That said I've been collecting different "business glue" products that are similar to Pipes. To me, like you say, they aren't as interesting, exciting and intuitive as Pipes was, but maybe it just takes a little more digging. I tried to focus on open source tools but some aren't.
