exifbrowser.com

A local-first file explorer making use of the new Origin Private File System (OPFS) and web workers.

Drop a folder of 1000+ images onto the page and it will generate a list of all the images and their EXIF data in a couple of seconds.

Demo coming soon (after work).

This is the base for a custom iNaturalist upload interface.

Very much a work in progress.

TODO List

Features

  • File tree directory navigation instead of a flat list. Would allow for separate sessions based off the directory.
  • Experiment with different perf patterns (queues, better caching with IndexedDB + cache API, cancelable promises, async iterators etc.)
  • Image Editing
  • Ability to add GPS data to images with a GPX (or similar) file.
  • Tests
  • Run certain transformations in parallel depending on the number of cores available.

Refactors / Improvements

  • Cleanup + consistent code style
  • Responsive design
  • Browser support

Deployment

  • Deployment pipeline with SEED
  • Add privacy-focused analytics/error tracking (avoid session recordings etc.)

Documentation

  • Add to this README

Misc

  • Add a license
