Toucan VS dupver

https://github.com/matiasvc/Toucan

I work in robotics and have for a long time been frustrated with how hard it is to visualize data in C++. I created Toucan to try to solve that. The project is still in a very early stage but has already started to become useful.

The API still needs work but it’s getting there. Toucan can be called from anywhere in your code, and runs in its own thread to always remain interactive and responsive.

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.
