simple-datatables VS libvips

Integrate Simple-DataTables

Mmh looks pretty similar to Simple-DataTables (https://github.com/fiduswriter/Simple-DataTables). I was pretty familiar with the jQuery DataTables plugin (https://datatables.net/), so this was the obvious migration strategy to not have the jQuery dependency...

I use it as UX improvement on my blog (e.g. here https://pilabor.com/blog/2021/04/list-of-free-software/)...

https://github.com/fiduswriter/Simple-DataTables I believe it’s the spiritual successor to jquery datatables.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I'm using simple-datatables but found a workaround that works for me. I've very little experience writing JS (meaning HTMX is especially helpful for me!) so not sure I'll be able to write the JS required to integrate. No problem though, thanks a lot for what you've created!

Read through the comments and was surprised no one mentioned libvips - https://github.com/libvips/libvips. At my current small company we were trying to allow image uploads and started with imagemagick but certain images took too long to process and we were looking for faster alternatives. It's a great tool with minimum overhead. For video thumbnails, we use ffmpeg which is really heavy. We off-load video thumbnail generation to a queue. We've had great luck with these tools.

After some research, I found libvips, a demand-driven, horizontally threaded image processing library. It is designed to run quickly while using as little as memory as possible.

Sharp is a fast and efficient image optimization Node.js module that makes use of the native libvips library.

h2non/bimg can handle both if the underlying libvips is compiled with support for both formats.

if you're using linux (which it doesn't seem so) there's also vispdisp https://github.com/jcupitt/vipsdisp which is based on https://github.com/libvips/libvips which will likely take over how images are decoded in the future for everything, at least methodology wise.

The magic happens by way of a library called Libvips, which contains an ultra-high-speed low-memory image resizer.

imagor uses one of the most efficient image processing library libvips. It is typically 4-8x faster than using the quickest ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick settings.
