Building a file indexer in Zig

Showcase
1

Hello guys, I made a video about building a real time file indexer in zig using Linux inotify.

It’s the first piece of a file sync project I’m building from scratch. I tried to keep it practical and beginner friendly.

Any thoughts or feedback?

Really interesting. Especially since I’m (still) not too experienced with Zig and my projects are also often about file operations. But 44 minutes is a large amount of time I dont find very often beside work, family etc. Thus, is there a codeberg/gitxyz repo were we can check out the code?

Btw I like yiur avatar :wink:

interesting! Will take a look at this…

I am also playing around with making a NAS-to-NAS, maximum speed (10Gbe+) local syncing software using Fanotify, io_uring and Splice(2)..!

What else are you planning on?
