Description
Hello Hacker News photographers! Yes, this is essentially my take on photo colling and management, similar to the features that Lightroom and Darktable already have.Because I shoot in JPEG+RAW, my workflow looks like me going through my JPEG images and then eliminating the JPEGs I don't like afterwards in addition to their corresponding RAWs. At least on my old MacBook, the JPEGs were faster to load than the RAW photos (probably a combination of CR2, the file my EOS 40D, not having embedded JPEG previews and my buggy macOS version). Hologram would be my way of making this workflow easier to do, especially with keyboard shortcuts.I also never liked the star-based system on Lightroom or Darktable, so I implemented Pick and Reject instead (which matches what I would otherwise do with deleting photos to my system trash when I cull in the Finder app)Anyways, with my new R7 I found that bursts got more annoying to cull so I decided to create autocull on Hologram as well. This would analyze your photos and help you suggest which photos in a burst to keep, or which photos to keep in a shoot in general.Currently, this is not notarized or whatever, but let me know what you guys think.

Could you build this?
Yes It is a desktop photo culling app built with Tauri, Rust, and web technologies that reads local directories, pairs RAW+JPEG filenames, displays images, and tags or deletes them.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a vertical saas tool for Insurance yet.
