Not Zig (yet), but this thread is a nice place to say hi. I’m working on ColorFul Tube CMS, a self-hosted platform for uploading, watching and sharing videos (demo at https://clfcms.com/).
The media side of a project like that (thumbnails, previews, transcoding queues) is exactly the kind of thing where a small single-binary worker is appealing, so the showcase posts here like z2d and the 1BRC write-up are fun to read. Planning to work through the docs and mostly lurk in Help for a while.
