I really like the local storage of this. Files and folders are the best!
(When noodling on this, I’ve also been wondering about putting metadata for files in sidecar files next to the files they describe, rather than a centralized SQLite database. Did you experiment with anything like that by any chance?)
- mholt 1y agoWhy sidecar metadata files? In general I've tried to minimize the number of files on disk since that makes copying slow and error-prone. (A future version of Timelinize will likely support storing ALL the data in a DB to make for faster, easier copying.) We'd still need a DB for the index anyway, which essentially becomes a copy of the metadata.
- dav43 1y agoDon’t know if you have seen the work DuckDB is doing on ducklake. Maybe there is an overlap in vision for versioning data across multiple data sources - and similar to SQLite it’s not proprietary and easily drilled down on. I’m sorry, don’t have technical knowledge :/
