One nice thing about AWS is that almost every entity can have up to 50 key-val tags and they can be used in access control rules. Like you can tag some VMs as department:Accounting and grant access based on that tag.
Just gonna say the visuals for your videos are simply beautiful. So amazing. Definitely a big reason as to why the first video blew up. SO SO good looking
OneFolder maintainer here, thanks for mentioning us as a alternative ❤ what an honor. I completely agree with your take, there is a lot of space for file organisation software and methods, and TagStudio has something difference, hope you can keep it going till v1

The philosophy behind this project is so intuitive and elegant that it beggars belief something similar has yet to be made (or uncovered). Great video and look forward to your progress!
I love tag studio ! I'm glad I stumbled upon this video. I've been using it for like a year, I downloaded it and put it alongside my library, I'm starting to have a big technical library and I really hate folder structure to store it because most books cover at least two topics I'm interested in and I want to be able to retrieve things quickly when studying a subject.
BRO ngl i think about ur tagging video all the time its just a great video that explains a pretty complex and generalizable subject like attribute tagging very clearly. in fact the reason i found this video is because i was gonna watch ur other video again
How much can a programmer earn by donation a month? I mean, if I could earn $1000 USD per month, I would quit my job and just develop the apps I want at home.
I’m a designer with no relationship to coding. I don’t even use obsidian - I use Notion (pls no hate, I have my reasons). But I’ve been itching to find a robust tagging system like this to support my creative projects, and when your first TagStudio video came accross my feed - boy. The way I got excited. Not to mention, your editing and storytelling skills are clearly excellent. You’ve definitely earned my follow - excited to see where this channel goes!
History has just been made and we were here to see it 😂 No seriously though, this has potential! Combined with docker containers to self host it as a personal cloud service, I would love to use this all day long.
So funny to me that after I watched your video about TagStudio, I REALIZED I WAS MISSING SUCH A TOOL. Brilliant work. Can't wait for it to be less alpha !
i'm so so excited for this. i can't contribute much for right now like playtesting (i simply am too busy sadly 😖) but i absolutely applaud and encourage you and your team for continuing with this. i can't wait to see it come closer and closer to being realized. also; for the false positives? honestly? i'd say it's not a huge deal- in my personal experience tons of programs i've downloaded give me the false positive, even though i know what i'm downloading and that it's safe. people who know what they're doing can usually ignore those easily enough, so while it would be _nice_ for it not to be flagged as a virus, i wouldn't worry too much about it if you can't get it to be recognized as safe.
I've been looking a not garbage asset organization/previewer for years and for the longest time all I could ever find was useless D.A.M software (most of which was cloud hosted to boot). This is the first one I've seen that seems to have a simple clean approach to the problem of organizing and managing large collections of digital assets. Seriously keep it up!
Wow!! It's insane how far this came in such a short time, I cant believe I missed this video! I wish I stuck with the project earlier, this project really became something great!!
Hey man! First off, wow! It’s truly amazing how far you and the team have gotten with it. I remember watching your original video on this and now out of no where… THIS? Super cool! Second, I have a bit of a request. I realize it’s not as important as everything else you guys are working on, but I would love to see this program get a UI based on the design of your videos! I swear your videos have such a nice look, if the program had a similar one it would be incredibly nice to use. And remember, you spend a lot of time in your file management software, so it looking nice is actually quite important. Anyway, great work you guys, you’re awesome!
The idea is amazing and I love that you included the community, open sourcing the project was the right choice. I'm happy that you are excited about everyone helping out and solving bugs together and brain storming solutions, features and all of the jazz. I excited to see where this is going, I wish i could help but I'm a real newbie. Good luck, I'm subbing.
Awesome! Glad this is happening (and even going well by the looks of it!). So I'm sure someone in the various discussions has suggested other database systems than sql, given your objectives, but just in case, I'd like to toss out a mention of arrangoDB (sort of graphQL), neo4j (sort of graphQL), and surrealDB (sort of SQL). Multi-model/graph databases might really simplify your hierarchy problem (mario>overalls) into sub-queryable relationships (mario is_wearing> overalls can be searched by overalls, mario, is_wearing, or mario>overalls), and make a lot of sense for a lot of different use cases. They'd also make adding checksum or whatever form of change management you end up with much simpler, because you can use the different models to store your comparison, instead of having to use key/value pairs.
Super excited to see where TagStudio goes! I really need a better way to organize all of my DnD files. Right now, i just have a haphazard folder structure, haha.
This is awesome to see!! I remember downloading TagStudio a few days after that initial video and experiencing some bugs, general Python headaches, and feeling like it just wasn’t to the point where I could use it instead of my current nest of folders on Windows and Mac. But with all this new development, it might be a reality! Thank you for continuing to develop this game-changing programme!
Man, i remember first seeing the first tag studio video and then joining and having a blast! I cant wait for someday when tag studio gets its first release! I will never forget being in the server and just chatting! Thank you vox and the contributors! keep up the good work!
It’s kinda mind blowing there could be a video this stylized and beautifully produced with high attention to detail about a python program that uses text as button icons. I hope thinks continue to go well!
I tested out the program. Knowing how to create a tag was a little confusing until I saw the drop hint to say "ctrl+t" Also, it would be nice to navigate using awsd or keyboard arrows. I don't particularly like having to at different images by clicking on them. It would be nice to compare images by just a button rather than moving the mouse over and clicking it. I like it though. Applying tags from folders is an incredible feature. It just applied to most images from that folder and I searched it up. I didn't even need to create a tag since it did it on its own. It is a very welcomed feature. I know this will be one of my go to sorters for finding images.
OMG this is amazing. After the first video I realised it wasn't open source/released so I went looking for alternatives but only found subpar programs like tagspace which never really felt right. I didn't realise this was out and open source, I definitely have to give it a go.
Making your own personal project open-source is always an incredibly selfless action. As someone who appreciates Open-Source software and is developing my own open-source software, thank you for doing this and giving back to the community!
I haven't watched the entire video so please don't crucify me but at the 5:40 mark my immediate thought was "Containers, containers, containers"! Instead of building the app locally on your system and worrying about the correct versions of your dependencies, it’s recommended to use a container like Docker to containerize your application. This approach ensures consistency across different environments, simplifies dependency management, and makes it easier to deploy your application on various platforms.
Until such time the whole docker app (its container and its eventually needed subcontainers) can be just an *.exe file I run, the program starts, and I click close and it gracefully closes; and it stores and reads all its data in a file/dir where I can see it (and easily backup it); and for it to ran as a portable app at that... Well, until such moment, I am wholeheartedly against the idea of using docker for this. If someone would make a "portable docker app" framework in general as that, portable exe file (with file size really not being an issue, just raw functionality), that would be bloody awesome. Or have it work like portably installed python interpreter ("docker runtime") that runs a python script ("docker app"). If you get my gist. Simple execution and workings as a regular Windows app. And if it requires a browser to display, use something built-in as fully stand-alone, or have it run as a "service" within something like a Ferdium ("chat client/frontend"), where it would automatically bring it to foreground. I dunno if all this is doable, but that is how I want containers to actually work - like a windows app or a document for a windows app.
@@cbs1710doesn't have to be docker you can just take the python folder with libraries downloaded/compiled, add a python interpreter, and package it all into an executable that starts up the interpreter at the right place. There are already programs that allow you to package python software in this way. It may require some fiddling to get working with qt out of the box but you don't need to use docker, and require people to install it. Also the original setup is fairly simple if you've ever pulled a python program, it's just not end-user friendly. Which docker isn't either.
Yeah I have to agree. I love the idea behind docker (containerize scripts to run consistently on any machine). But the actual implementation of it is such a nightmare to use. Even more so for anyone who isn't tech savvy.
As a free/libre software fanatic, I just wanted to say thank you so much for licensing your project under the GPL v3 license. Would hate to see it turned into proprietary garbage. If you ever start accepting donations, I'd love to donate (preferably anonymously via Monero)!
I watched this video without knowing the context of your previous videos. But UA-cam recommended me this directly and I was interested based on the title. Still a great story to tell
It's like kurzgesagt meets file organization. Great video production, nice voice, and fantastic graphics. I sincerely don't know what's better, the videos or the software. I really hope to see more content from this channel.
cant wait to get the final product on mac, I'lll be using this to categorise my photos (im a photographer) if you can manage to make some sort of star rating system, like in lightroom. that would be a game changer. Love the work your doing and cant wait to see where this software goes 👍
Glad to see an update video! I've been keeping an eye on the program's progress but am waiting for a slightly less alpha build before I try it out myself. Super excited to see what this program will become!
I am designer and I am really looking forward to this piece of software, because I use so much random inspirational reference material and being able to tag and sort them and even link resulting patterns would be so cool
I never saw any of your Obsidian stuff but was recommended the last video. Super fun editing and narration, please keep em coming and don't be afraid to get technical for your growing software dev audience!
You gained a sub for these devlogs. What I really wanna see is something that can apply these tags automatically. I'm never gonna actually go through the effort of doing it myself
The project is awesome! One important thing nobody seems to talk about is web browser usage. As a self-hoster with multiple devices, I'd love to access my meme- important data from everywhere with a central file structure. Ideally, the file storage could even be external, like by using nextcloud.
Is there a reliable graph database with a similar footprint as sqlite? What significant advantage would there be to using that over sqlite if most tags will probably only ever be two levels deep at most?
@@leeroyjenkins0 It's not about the tags themselves. Tags aren't necessarily related to each other, they are in the context of an image. The greatest advantage of a graph database is that it's optimized for relationships. If you're looking for an image 'tagged with' mario where mario is 'detailed by' overalls, this is the main use case of graph databases. When it comes to footprint of course, sqlite's low footprint is lost as soon as you have stored procedures and more complex data patterns. Its most practical aspect of course though is that sqlite allows you to connect to files directly without running a sqlite server, I'm not sure there's a graph database product out there that's this simple to dev with. Also there's no way it's going to be two levels deep at most. There are definitely images that are going to end up with a sizeable tree. Tags, like most data, pile up with time, as preferences and search habits change.
Crazy timing for this video as I just started a kind of similar project of trying to make a program to help my mother organize sewing patterns by type of clothing and attributes about the style of whatever item. Obviously would function kind of similar to this except a little less free from on the tags, more guided to specific tag types. The other difference is while I have some python experience I'm trying to do this project in C#, and going straight to SQLite first. Definitely a bit of a learning curve lol especially since I haven't done much GUI development in any interface.
Not sure if the issue mentioned at 10:25 has been solved yet, but conceptually this sounds like it needs a _"context"_ feature like this: Tags on files (and in search) are always in a general context, but a user can create sub-contexts and move tags of the file into said context (general context: mario, sub-context: luigi, overalls). And then, tag-related searches could be set to _"respect sub-contexts"_ or _"search all tags"_ I have no idea how to implement this in the current environment, but it's still a conceptual idea that i wanted to share, in case you still need ideas on that front.
I can't wait to test it out once it gets a more stable release! These dev videos are awesome and actually work as a really nice changelog and progress update system!
A feature I hope to see in the future is some form of API that allows for add-ons and alternate front-ends. That way, users can add their own features.
i was just thinking about an idea that would need similar functionality as your program here, and then this video pops up! maybe thats my cue to learn programming!
I really look forward to this project getting off the ground! For creative work i do on the side, ive been dreading trying to organize my files for making stationery and organizing inspiration to make them coherent to actually use for work.
Wow, I had no idea this existed. I have been looking for an opensource alternative to Adobe Bridge for viewing and tagging files. I can't wait to try it. Thank You!

Is there a reliable graph database with a similar footprint as sqlite? What significant advantage would there be to using that over sqlite if most tags will probably only ever be two levels deep at most?
@@leeroyjenkins0 It's not about the tags themselves. Tags aren't necessarily related to each other, they are in the context of an image. The greatest advantage of a graph database is that it's optimized for relationships. If you're looking for an image 'tagged with' mario where mario is 'detailed by' overalls, this is the main use case of graph databases. When it comes to footprint of course, sqlite's low footprint is lost as soon as you have stored procedures and more complex data patterns. Its most practical aspect of course though is that sqlite allows you to connect to files directly without running a sqlite server, I'm not sure there's a graph database product out there that's this simple to dev with.
Also there's no way it's going to be two levels deep at most. There are definitely images that are going to end up with a sizeable tree. Tags, like most data, pile up with time, as preferences and search habits change.
Crazy timing for this video as I just started a kind of similar project of trying to make a program to help my mother organize sewing patterns by type of clothing and attributes about the style of whatever item. Obviously would function kind of similar to this except a little less free from on the tags, more guided to specific tag types. The other difference is while I have some python experience I'm trying to do this project in C#, and going straight to SQLite first. Definitely a bit of a learning curve lol especially since I haven't done much GUI development in any interface.
I love this Data oriented storage.
Looks like an ECS haha, with components, archetypes, and component based querries
absolutely love following along!
Maintain open source project is no joke (effort wise), I'm proud of you.
omg this is literally my favorite video series on youtube ever
This is so amazing! Great work!! :]
The quality of this video makes me want to try it out, happy to see all the contributors as well!
the pepe contributor ❤ 2:08
The RWJ transition sound sent me into a time warp lmao. Great video, keep them up!
Not sure if the issue mentioned at 10:25 has been solved yet, but conceptually this sounds like it needs a _"context"_ feature like this:
Tags on files (and in search) are always in a general context, but a user can create sub-contexts and move tags of the file into said context (general context: mario, sub-context: luigi, overalls).
And then, tag-related searches could be set to _"respect sub-contexts"_ or _"search all tags"_
I have no idea how to implement this in the current environment, but it's still a conceptual idea that i wanted to share, in case you still need ideas on that front.
The program is awesome and all but the glorious editing and style of your videos is so beautiful to look at
I can't wait to test it out once it gets a more stable release! These dev videos are awesome and actually work as a really nice changelog and progress update system!
A feature I hope to see in the future is some form of API that allows for add-ons and alternate front-ends. That way, users can add their own features.
I'm surprised at your surprise, man, this program could help so many people and I'm super excited for it.
Really looking forward to seeing this grow and evolve 👏
i was just thinking about an idea that would need similar functionality as your program here, and then this video pops up! maybe thats my cue to learn programming!
I really look forward to this project getting off the ground! For creative work i do on the side, ive been dreading trying to organize my files for making stationery and organizing inspiration to make them coherent to actually use for work.
Wow, I had no idea this existed. I have been looking for an opensource alternative to Adobe Bridge for viewing and tagging files. I can't wait to try it. Thank You!
Great video, great imagery, great storytelling, engaging, keep up the good work!
