prestige VS libheif

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.

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
