react-native-vision-camera VS WatermelonDB

Camera and Image Captioning: For taking pictures we will use react-native-vision-camera and for generating captions from the images, react-native-quick-tflite.

> One of the big "aha" moments I had was a couple years ago when I was trying out Stripe's Identity product, which lets you take a selfie and a picture of your ID for identity verification purposes. It's pretty amazing how Stripe was able to do the full image analysis (i.e. edge detection when you take a picture of your ID) solely with browser APIs.

Do you have any details on that Stripe app? I've found the browser camera handling lacking on mobile if you want to overlay it with a "position the subject here" rectangle, or display instructions alongside, or detect QR codes as well as other subjects. I'd like this to be an out-of-date view. I've been considering React Native for the next version, using https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-vision-camera as it seems much more feature complete.

You can use react-native-vision-camera and a frame processor that uses some kind of OCR to get the number plates.

This is a demonstration of what VisionCamera V3 is capable of - I built a small plugin to load any TensorFlow Model (.tflite) from resources and run it on every Camera Frame. This is going to be a game-changer, since the developer no longer needs to write native code for such complex tasks - it only takes a few lines of JavaScript to spin up a Camera, do real-time processing with a TensorFlow model, and draw anything to the Frame. Magic!

I finally got react-native-vision-camera and vision-camera-face-detector working yesterday by using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). On windows itself it just doesn't work for me (https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-vision-camera/issues/1474)

I'm the author of react-native-vision-camera, a library that exposes platform native Camera features to React Native.

Here’s an example from react-native-vision https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-vision-camera/blob/main/example/src/views/StatusBarBlurBackground.tsx

Storing the notes: For storing the notes, we will use the amazing WatermelonDB package which is a popular sqlite wrapper for react-native. Instead of using the default package we will use a fork of this that uses sqlcipher instead of the regular sqlite, allowing us to encrypt the database by passing a secret key.

Because most of the libraries I evaluated (RxDB, WatermelonDB) were entirely JS oriented, by design, none could provide a positive API surface in Native code.

never tried it but there is https://github.com/nozbe/WatermelonDB

As title says, is it a good option? There'll be like 60 webp images not some high quality. Or should I add some local db instead, something like: 1. https://github.com/ammarahm-ed/react-native-mmkv-storage 2. https://github.com/Nozbe/WatermelonDB

Watermelon DB.

Significantly improved performance (a lot of optimizations were done, and state management is more scalable by relying on an actual database)

Watermelondb it gives you an ORM, reactivity (when a records changes it cause UI re-render), and easy syncing with remote server, go with that if you don't know SQL that well.
