Nexus Media
Local indexing, discovery, metadata, and AI assistance for photo and video libraries.
The problem
Large local media libraries are difficult to explore by people, place, time, and content.
Approach
Build a local Electron and SQLite library with EXIF, maps, and AI-assisted metadata.
Key engineering decisions
- better-sqlite3 metadata store
- ExifTool and FFmpeg processing
- Python AI engine boundary
Boundaries and limitations
- Face clustering and creative features remain in development
- Cross-device sync is planned, not delivered
