       | Docker application (working on Windows install now) that lets you
       | process files using a simple flow based rule system. Similar to
       | node-red but for files.
       | 
       | The reason I created this was to process videos into a standard
       | format that all the devices in my house could playback
       | (H265/AC3).
       | 
       | I tried unmaniac and tdarr but didn't really like those
       | interfaces and they didn't do exactly what I wanted.
       | 
       | There's a cut-down demo available on the website. The demo
       | doesn't connect to a backend so it doesn't include all the
       | features.
       | 
       | After feedback/suggestions of features to add. Its quite powerful
       | being so flexible, and not limited to just processing video
       | files. It has a plugin based system and I've so far got 3
       | plugins. Basic (basic file processing/generic nodes), Videos (for
       | video encoding/processing), Meta (for metadata, currently only
       | TheMovieDb). The basic plugin also includes a "Executor" which
       | lets you run any process against a file and use the exit code in
       | the flow. So you could automically have it convert all you
       | pictures to some format, or FLAC audio to MP3 or something.
