MetaJuicer is out in the open

My newest project is code-named Metajuicer (written in haskell).

My inspiration for this project comes from the fact that metadata extractors seem to be extremely rare and I was curious as to what you could find out there. I was sold after I found someones gps coordinates using an exif extractor. In addition, learning to program in the age of Java I had never really dealt directly with binary files so I was curious about specifications and the like.

At the moment the program only supports PNG files though I am currently working on an addition for exif files that may be added in the next couple days.

If you are interested in an example of it being used I will try to get an article out on it in the next couple weeks with examples.

The official website for Metajuicer is metajuicer.syfran.com. It is a minimalist page that contains some information on the project and a twitter feed to the github updates.

Installation at the moment involves downloading the source and doing a cabal install in the directory. Packages and source tarballs will come later.
