LOL what does this mean!

also not sure what exactly else to build or if more of this would be helpful! ie could:
- bundle stuff this as a desktop app
- or make it run fully offline
- port some other CLI tool (say, ImageMagick)
- add metadata editing / clearing functionality

curious what is best!

not sure where best to put this re OSINT folks, cc @eliothiggins.bsky.social @wpmacmason.bsky.social @sparkleops.xyz @urikikaski.bsky.social @lukeconnolly.bsky.social @fptp.bsky.social @gemni8.bsky.social @theskagooner.bsky.social @dutchosintguy.bsky.social @soxoj.bsky.social @dataangel.space

behind the scenes it's executing the perl-based Exiftool in wasm - kudos to Andrew Sampson for his package zeroperl (that does most of this complex logic) and bjorn3's "wasi_browser_shim," which lets this work totally on the client

this weekend i shipped exiftool-web, a way to run the famed OSINT / image metadata tool all in the browser! demo (exiftool.lucasgelfond.online ) and source code (github.com/lucasgelfond...)
