Facebook open source product: https://github.com/facebook/watchman to get notified when configuration, file or other change

Facebook Meta's Watchman Service looks very useful for watching for changes in files and directories to kick off automation. Still, there seem to be a bunch of gotchas with it that only come to light after trying to mess with it. The docs seem lacking, the Python library needs to be updated, and even the installation on non-Ubuntu or Red Hat distros requires a rebuild, which has been somewhat problematic given the build tools. Also, no official Docker container.

Not to be confused with Facebook’s file watch daemon, which does the same sort of thing but is more complicated. There’s a bunch of tools that integrate Facebook’s watchman for more efficient change tracking.

I've been using viu, which is also written in Rust: https://github.com/atanunq/viu

How does imgcatr compare?

Viu was last updated 5 months ago, imgcatr 3 months ago, not a significant difference. imgcatr is a longer name than viu, requiring more keystrokes to type.

Terminal image viewer with native support for iTerm and Kitty

in another terminal i sourced and installed a terminal image viewer. this was before i knew the image was gone. anyways, the one i picked is called "viu" (github).

Lastly, yeah, i discovered after that some tools already does this, like viu, i just did not search with the right keyword when i was looking for one. By looking at the simplicity of the tool it was kinda obvious i was not the first person coming with this idea anyway.

Viu works in Alacritty on Plasma Wayland for me.
