I am pretty sure the guy spent more effort making it than was put into 2 of these bottle openers: https://www.uncommongoods.com/product/recycled-record-bottle...
As far as I can tell so far, its functionality isn't much beyond a a short script that Claude could generate for me in 30 seconds or I could write myself in 20 minutes.
I suppose this one is great for someone who has 50000 photos they want to keep! Can anyone recommend a tool like the old old acdsee? Just browse random folders, display a preview and be able to delete photos? Because my problem is a photo library where I should probably delete 90% of it. But all those advanced photo managers with functions for pros (or even Apple Photos, which I gave up on) make this particular opera…
Hey HN! After drowning in 50,000+ unorganized photos across multiple devices and much frustration, I built FlipFocus Photo Organizer to solve my own problem. What it does: * Smart organization - Sorts by date/device/EXIF automatically * Duplicate detection - Finds duplicates even with different filenames * 100% offline - Your photos never leave your device * Cross-platform - macOS & Windows Why I built it: A lot of p…
How does it detect duplicates? Hashing or something else?
"The app uses advanced hash algorithms to identify duplicate files by analyzing their content, not just filenames."
Thanks for the showcase. I have a question: Can your tool detect duplicates with lower resolution? A typical use case would be images received via chat apps, which are often downscaled to save bandwidth. If I have a higher quality version, I'd like to keep only the larger one.

It's explained on the main page of the website they posted: "The app uses advanced hash algorithms to identify duplicate files by analyzing their content, not just filenames."
It is technically an advanced hash algorithm which analyses the contents.
edit: oh it is built with electron and node.js, so instead of sha256sum it's probably pulling 15 dependencies to calculate it.
Have you played around with anything like that? Seems like a locally running CLIP model could do the job.

Same. But I don’t even care to delete the 90%, because storage is cheap. How about a tool to auto-hide them, thus making the 10% easily viewable.
That's all.

Storage is cheap. I suggest focusing on spending the time setting up tools that find and resurface the 10%. Photos widget on iOS, photos shuffle lockscreen on iOS, etc. I’m biased (I worked on those), but anything in that style tools is great.
> Storage is cheap. That's no good reason to fill it with 20 photos of the same butterfly. And how will I even find the butterfly? It's lost within the 200 photos of the same hills. Do not assume I ever pruned photos before downloading them off my phones and cameras, because I did not.
Use Llava or similar to generate text descriptions of all of your photos, then search for "butterfly".
