🎉 I've created an online EXIF Viewer using Kotlin/WASM! 😊

Check it out at https://stefanoltmann.github.io/exif-viewer/

Feel free to explore the source code on GitHub and maybe leave a star. 😄

A big thank you to everyone who helped me with this, with special appreciation for @Svyatoslav Kuzmich [JB], @Robert Jaros and @bashor. Your help was invaluable!

I've seen it's based on kim. Is there a technical reason as to why it doesn't support JS? Just curious.

Cool 🎉. It would be nice though if you could also evaluate the orientation flag for showing the thumbnail.

Cool! Now I just need a DSLR 😂

Is there a technical reason as to why it doesn't support JS?

I opted not to incorporate JS support in Kim as it was unnecessary for Ashampoo Photos.

However, inspired by @Michael Paus's recommendation to embrace WASM and fueled by my curiosity to explore this emerging technology, I decided to integrate WASM support into Kim.

This has now equipped me for a potential Compose for Web version of Photos. So it seems worth the effort.

I don't know how much effort a JS version would be. If it's not too much I might bring it - just for completeness. Or is the old JS target deprecated now?

No no, not deprecated, I hope it never will lol

It was just out of curiosity so no pressure. Normally I try to support all the stable targets and as many Native Tiers as possible.

Yes, thats a good plan. I quickly tried to add js() target to https://github.com/Ashampoo/xmpcore (the XMP dependency for Kim), but it won't compile with Cannot check for external interface: ProcessingInstruction

So it won't be as easy as just adding the targets, but might need a bigger refactoring.

I'll accept PRs adding the js() target to XMP Core & Kim, but I might not find time to add it myself.

I found out Slack removes IPTC data from uploaded PNGs, so my Kodee.png easter egg didn’t work 😆
Congrats, Stefan!

@Michael Paus It's fixed by the way. 🙂
