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:
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.
