Great article from @larswander on adding text metadata to PNGs, which is something that I've needed for a long time in my generative art practice. Thank you! 🙏
@jeffpalmer @larswander I've been saving source code on the PNG metadata at times (as I mainly work with Python, this was my main hack https://github.com/villares/villares/blob/77e93c60003e003cfc1f9d02523d417bbbab536b/helpers.py#L152 ), then I made a tool that shows diffs between the images... But more recently I was trying to generate folders with variations so I can compare sketches with SVG and GIF outputs... Anyways, I feel traditional source control with commits doesn't help me find my way back to unexplored avenues.
@villares @larswander I hear you. I created this script to help me manage this, but it’s still not perfect. I’m much better off now, but it’s still a bit of a hassle. 🤷♂️
