- The page says the library can be rebuilt from its folder; it cautions against simultaneous writes to one synced library.
Field notes
The page documents a directory-based layout: originals go under images/<sha1>.<ext>, item metadata is kept separately, and a desktop index can be rebuilt from the folder. It also says the browser extension and desktop app can use the same library, while warning against simultaneous writes to a library on a sync drive. The optional tagging feature is described as user-configured; the page says its demo does not connect to a model or upload images.
