devlog 1 => the big bang
i started developing the hidalgo: a fast file indexer for linux, inspired in the file indexer Everything only available on Windows.
now it has available a index in memory with hashmap (FNV-1a), recurssive scan of directorys, fuzzy search and a basic cli. i noted that with too much files (100k+), the indexer consumes too much ram (1gb+), i plan to mitigate that with a local cache for not everytime that it needs to search something it has to scan everything.
for the future, i plan to add a hook to the system calls that create/delete files of linux (not sure if it is possible) and create a good user interface to not rely only on the cli.
