libheif VS prestige

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

I've not used it, but have heard of Prestige (https://github.com/sharat87/prestige). It bills itself as "A text-based HTTP client in the browser. An interface-less Postman." I hope that helps!

Shameless plug: There's also Prestige at https://prestigemad.com, which is very similar but works right in the browser. You can save your files as Gists as well. Templating with variables is also supported with `${}` syntax, like Javascript's template strings.

But gRPC support is not built yet. It's on the roadmap.

There's also https://prestigemad.com, a text based API testing tool, like Postman. I'm the developer behind it and is open source at https://github.com/sharat87/prestige.

Hey! I did the same thing, rewrite httpbin in Go, and put it up on https://httpbun.com. I did it because I needed a fast endpoint like httpbin, with a few extras, and with working redirect endpoints. I needed this for testing Prestige. (Sorry for inserting a shameless plug in here, but httpbun and httphub are just so close to each other I couldn't shut up 🙈).

Still early days at https://prestigemad.com (recently discussed at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27412445)

- Backend is a Django project, database is PostgreSQL.

- Frontend powered by Mithril.js and the editor by CodeMirror.

- Hosted on a $5 box on EC2.

- GoatCounter for analytics.

- CloudFlare for DNS, NameCheap for domain.

Also https://httpbun.com

- Backend is a vanilla Go project.

- Frontend is plain HTML and CSS, I don't recall it having any JS at all.

- Hosted on the same $5 box on EC2.

- No analytics (yet).

- CloudFlare for DNS, NameCheap for domain.

It is refreshing to see how much I can squeeze out of a $5 box. I don't intend to stay with EC2 for long, but when its cheap, I'd rather spend my time improving Prestige.
