Thanks for the help ref https://fediscience.org/@sbrl/113726310893898548, Fediverse :fediverse:! 💕 I thought I'd do a poll of some of the suggestions.

Vote will decide the name, tho I will have the final say o/ 📊

HELP ME Fediverse :fediverse: ! 🥺 I need a name for an open source :opensource: project I'm working on. Please suggest anything in comments! I'm kinda stumped.

It's a self-hosted AI-enhanced image search engine - see rough design sketches attached.

---------

The Plan™:

Basically it'll index all images in a given directory with 2 mechanisms:

1. Exif / meta data + filepaths
2. AI (currently CLIP) embeddings → vector DB

....then there'll be a web interface that lets you enter search terms & filter by various things like filename, exif fields, etc

Quite early in development, but got the embedding worker done today!

Aim is for it to run comfortably on a Raspberry Pi 4 that also has other things running on it.

Still to do:

- 🌐 Web interface
- 🌄 Exif indexer
- 🥔 Quantise CLIP etc for lower resource usage, go looking for better models
- :opensource: Open source the code, but need a name for the project first!
- 💭 Lotsa stuff I forget

Tech:
- 🟢 Node.js (pure JS libraries where possible)
- 🍇 VectorDB: https://www.npmjs.com/package/hnsw (potential issue: this is in-memory or IndexedDB)
- 🌄 Exif DB: https://www.npmjs.com/package/njodb ('cause I hate working with databases 'cause they're boring - sql ESP)
- :python: Python worker 4 embedding/AI stuff: PyTorch, CLIP
