  • libvips

  • Project mention: Ask HN: How to handle user file uploads? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-03

    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.

    Until 2017, I kept my resume in troff (well, groff, really). After searching a bit, I finally re-did it in LaTex.

    So I have to ask why? Going up a level to http://litcave.rudi.ir/, it's for the author's own personal needs, but what needs could possibly motive what we see there? I'm astounded.
