GripNews🌖 GitHub - eggricesoy/filmkit：輕鬆快速地創建與管理 Fujifilm 相機設定檔
➤ 極致簡化你的富士工作流：基於網頁的相機設定管理利器
✤ https://github.com/eggricesoy/filmkit
FilmKit 是一款創新的瀏覽器應用程式，專為 Fujifilm X 系列相機設計，旨在提供比官方 X RAW STUDIO 更高效、直覺的設定檔管理與 RAW 轉檔體驗。該工具透過 WebUSB 技術直接與相機通訊，利用相機內建的影像處理器進行運算，實現即時預覽與快速設定調整。使用者不僅能隨時隨地在桌機或 Android 裝置上管理自訂設定，還能透過拖放功能在本地與相機間同步數據。FilmKit 透過逆向工程 Fujifilm 的 PTP 通訊協定，成功繞過了官方軟體的諸多限制，為攝影師提供了一套輕量且免安裝的專業級工作流解決方案。
+ 這簡直是 Fujifilm 用戶的救星！官方的 X RAW STUDIO 實在太笨重，且介面反應遲鈍。FilmKit 的網頁介面

So, I can now flash software to this device from my web browser with WebUSB. The code might be the worst Javascript I have written, but it works quite reliably (constraint by how reliable the Micronucleus bootloader is).

JCMLack of WebUSB support has the potential to make me switch from Firefox to something Chromium based :(
#Firefox #WebUSB #Why-Mozilla?!-Why?!

#GrapheneOS installation on a Pixel phone is the easiest Android ROM I've flashed in the past 8 years. I used the WebUSB-based installation method. (Also discovered that my desktop has a USB-C port in the back, lol).
I am not a fan of web browsers turning into operating systems, but this is a good use case for WebUSB. I wonder if we can flash Debian-based operating systems images using this, directly from the official website. Removes the need for desktop apps like Balena Etcher.

@wolf480pl yeah, because the idea is that #drivers should hook in the #USB stack and unless it's a Universal Class Driver should just passthrough to the driver / userspace application for ease of support.
- So userspace applications can either request a specific device (i.e. Gameboy Multiplayer Adapter by @stacksmashing for #WebUSB ) or query all USB devices of a specific type (i.e. #MiniLPA looks for all #Smartcards & #Smartcard-Readers)…

plaesYeah, it's using either webusb or webserial which are only supported on Chromium-based browsers :(
Firefox decided to not implement these to APIs citing security concerns :(
#firefox #webusb #webserial
OblomovA lot of the development efforts (both creative and destructive) in web browsers in the last decade+ has been going into fostering the “web app” vision of the web, to the detriment of the “web of documents” vision. From the removal of native support for #RSS and #Atom to the introduction of JavaScript APIs like #WebUSB or the “Web Environment Integrity” attempt, nearly all work done on browsers has been in this direction.
