v0.1.0 – Initial Release

Hello hello. This is a little experimental side project thingy that I’ve been working on. Its an image obfuscator that obfuscate and mangle your images/pictures/photographs/illustrations. The idea is that the images will looks okay(-ish) to human, but absolute nonsense to bots/scrappers.

There’s like 7 open issues (and counting) already on the project’s public issue tracker, that should’ve been fixed before release, but I’ve been sitting on this since January, so I released it anyway.

There’s no documentation (yet), but there’s a (very) quick start page available.

The setup/workflow is rather convoluted right now. But basically, it is a two-step process:

• Processing the images with the CLI binary
• Applying the web library on your website with the output of the binary

I’m trying to simplify it, as the project moves forward. So the workflow mentioned above will probably changes a lot throughout the future updates.

Its started as TypeScript only project, but since I’m working with (potentially lots of) images here, and also kinda wanted to learn new languages, I decided to use Rust (for processing the images) + TypeScript (for applying it to the website).

It is $5 right now, but there’s a free demo version available for download. The difference is just in the binary: the demo version of the binaries will watermark the images processed/produced. The JS library is the same.
