VISTARA — Day 2: File Ingestion 🔎

VISTARA is getting smarter today.

It started as a file scanner that could tell me where my files are. Now it’s learning how to actually read what’s inside them. 🗿

VISTARA can currently process:

• .txt
• .md
• .pdf
• .docx

It can scan across the PC while skipping unnecessary system and development folders, keeping the focus on useful documents.

It also uses SHA-256 hashing to detect whether a document is:

• 🆕 New
• 🔄 Changed
• 😴 Unchanged

The first full scan found 7,462 supported files. 💀

Now VISTARA is going through them one by one, extracting their contents and storing the information in SQLite.

Basically:

"Where tf did I save that file?"

becomes:

"VISTARA, find it." 🗿

And yes… VISTARA is currently eating thousands of files, so my laptop is getting its own workout. 💀🔥

Next up: SQLite FTS5 keyword search.
