Fair point, imho landing pages rarely sell the full experience. In short the focus is UX, turnkey setup, visual feedback and data aggregation/graphs. Found gisia, cool project as well, starred!

Thanks! The project consists basically out of two components, the runtime and the editor. The runtime is mostly self-written, focusing most of my efforts. The editor on the other hand is built on `rete.js` ( https://retejs.org&#x2

Hey there, I have always been a fan of GitHub Actions workflows but for some reason never liked YAML files as being the assigned file format for non-linear workflows. While YAMLs are great as configuration files, they can be quite tedious w

I’m from the future. ;-) But I will fix it, thanks for the info

There is a lot going on in the space right now and there will be certainly a big shift in the next years. But as long as Blender, Cinema 4D, Photoshop, Pixelmator, Affinity are not running in the cloud I rather feel like DCC software packag

Thanks for the feedback! I will look into this

You have a point there :-D

I should clarify this. The 100 MB window in SnowFS is currently unrelated to compression as it is only used to compare if a block changed. Each block gets a hash. This is a fallback used for some file formats where the mtime timestamp canno

You're right. Git is widely used but I wouldn't call it an industry standard (yet), especially not not for repositories that exclusively contain binary data. And the GPL works well with commercial products. On top there is libgit2

This is incredibly helpful as I was looking for something like this for weeks. Thanks a lot for sharing! This looks super useful

by sebastian_io 5y ago
I am currently working on the compression, as it is not complete yet. The 100 MB is indeed excessive but the window is dynamic and can differ from file to file since it is written to a `*.hblock` file which is stored next to the object in t

Unfortunately, Snowtrack has no collaboration workflow yet. The underlying file storage system is prepared to support collaboration in the future, but it's too early for this

Thanks for your input! Snowtrack has no collaboration features built in yet. The public beta of Snowtrack is available since today. The project has a lot of fields to discover and will evolve over time. There are certainly countless of area

Thanks for your feedback! Better D&D handling was already requested a few times and will certainly be added in the next versions

Snowtrack focuses on local file versioning with tools that are locally installed (e.g. Photoshop, Blender, Cinema 4D, Pixelmator, ...)

I received a lot of feedback by people with music background. I recently talked to someone from the music production industry and it was interesting to hear that they have the same workflow and problems as the graphics industry. Snowtrack c

I absolutely agree. When I started evaluating the project I was positively surprised about the performance of Node for this field. It was a perfect fit so I continued with it

Great idea! I've to admit my knowledge about Mercurial is very rusty. Could you help out on that? May I invite you to share some insights in the discussion board of the project? https://github.com/Snowtrack/SnowFS&

Thank you for your feedback. You brought up very good points. Snowtrack is available as a public beta since today and will evolve from here through user-requests and feedback. Snowtrack supports a simple before/after compare but this

Thank you! The project consists out of two projects. SnowFS is the underlying core and is available as an open-source project (MIT). Snowtrack is the UI and the commercial product build around it and will be available as a Freemium product

Thank you! I've already prepared the foundation for a Linux build, and it's planned in the near future but I don't have a build available yet

Just for clarification, there are two projects involved here. SnowFS is the underlying open-source VCS, and Snowtrack is the commercial UI build around it. But for your statement about licenses, there is actually not much I can say to count

Correct

In this case it's a comparison between MIT and GPL. GPL software is more restrictive than licenses like MIT/Apache/.. and therefore not as much as present in the VFX or CG industry and that's key here. But you are absolu
