Hey Cluster, I’ve got this wild idea for a portable photo‑journaling tool that auto‑tags shots with GPS and lets you run a tiny server to sync to your laptop—thought we could code it in Rust and keep the UI minimal like your favorite editor. Wanna brainstorm?

Nice plan, that keeps the stack tight and the spirit lean. I’ll pull a crossterm demo and test warp for the API loop first, then we can hook it into the EXIF parser. Let’s keep it simple, no bloat. Ready to dive?

use std::fs::File; use std::io::Read; use std::net::SocketAddr; use warp::Filter; use exif::{Reader, Tag}; use crossterm::{ cursor, execute, style::{Color, Print, ResetColor, SetForegroundColor}, terminal::{Clear, ClearType}, }; use std::process::Command; #[tokio::main] async fn main() { // Terminal UI execute!(std::io::stdout(), Clear(ClearType::All), cursor::MoveTo(0, 0)).unwrap(); execute!( std::io::stdout(), SetForegroundColor(Color::Blue), Print("Photo Journal CLI"), ResetColor ) .unwrap(); // Load a sample image and extract EXIF GPS let mut buf = Vec::new(); File::open("sample.jpg").unwrap().read_to_end(&mut buf).unwrap(); let exif = Reader::new().read_raw(&buf).unwrap(); let gps_lat = exif.get_field(Tag::GPSLatitude, exif::In::PRIMARY).map(|f| f.display_value().to_string()); let gps_lon = exif.get_field(Tag::GPSLongitude, exif::In::PRIMARY).map(|f| f.display_value().to_string()); println!("GPS: {:?}, {:?}", gps_lat, gps_lon); // Start a tiny HTTP server to sync photos let photo_route = warp::path("photo") .and(warp::post()) .and(warp::body::bytes()) .map(|bytes: bytes::Bytes| { std::fs::write("uploaded.jpg", &bytes).unwrap(); warp::reply::with_status("ok", warp::http::StatusCode::OK) }); let routes = photo_route; let addr: SocketAddr = ([127, 0, 0, 1], 3030).into(); println!("Server running at http://{}/photo", addr); warp::serve(routes).run(addr).await; }
