Scrypted vs tidyaudit: at a glance
What is Scrypted?
Scrypted spent a year making its camera server run as a cluster, then went quiet.
Scrypted publishes releases as raw commit dumps, so the arc has to be read from the commits themselves. Through 2025 they cluster around three things: cluster mode and the worker addressing needed to make it real, GPU inference plumbing for NVIDIA on Proxmox and Intel runtimes, and a steady stream of per-camera fixes for battery, sleeping, and NVR devices. The most recent tag in this feed is from November 2025, so the visible record stops there rather than continuing to the present.
What is tidyaudit?
Pipeline provenance for tidyverse workflows, recording what changed at each step without keeping the data.
tidyaudit records lightweight metadata snapshots as data flows through a pipeline — row and column counts, NA counts, and structured diffs between any two points — without storing the data itself. Taps are operation-aware, so join, filter, and anti-join steps each report what that operation specifically did, and validation helpers cover join integrity, primary keys, and variable relationships. The trail can now be exported as a self-contained interactive HTML diagram or serialized to JSON or RDS.

◆ Current state
Scrypted publishes releases as raw commit dumps, so the arc has to be read from the commits themselves. Through 2025 they cluster around three things: cluster mode and the worker addressing needed to make it real, GPU inference plumbing for NVIDIA on Proxmox and Intel runtimes, and a steady stream of per-camera fixes for battery, sleeping, and NVR devices. The most recent tag in this feed is from November 2025, so the visible record stops there rather than continuing to the present.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction through the tracked window is a home camera server growing into distributed infrastructure: cluster mode, cluster-aware media management, worker addressing, and detection work moving onto custom models and fp16 math. Integration breadth continues alongside it, with HomeKit audio, ONVIF PTZ, text overlays, and PIR sensors. Because the feed has not produced a tag in months, any read on current direction should be treated as the state at the last release rather than today.
◆ Prediction
The entries do not support a confident prediction; the feed has been silent since November 2025, and a stale release stream is not evidence of what the project is doing now.
tidyaudit
0.0INFRA · APIS
Pipeline provenance for tidyverse workflows, recording what changed at each step without keeping the data.
◆ Current state
tidyaudit records lightweight metadata snapshots as data flows through a pipeline — row and column counts, NA counts, and structured diffs between any two points — without storing the data itself. Taps are operation-aware, so join, filter, and anti-join steps each report what that operation specifically did, and validation helpers cover join integrity, primary keys, and variable relationships. The trail can now be exported as a self-contained interactive HTML diagram or serialized to JSON or RDS.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc is from inspection to artifact. The first release made the trail something you print and read; 0.2.0 made it something you can hand to someone else or feed to another program, with the HTML export deliberately requiring no server and no Shiny. Reporting has been refined in the same direction, with a tabular changes block showing from-and-to values with row, column, and NA deltas. The remaining work in the window is defensive — a factor-handling path rebuilt because R-devel tightened what as.data.frame.table() accepts in row names.
◆ Prediction
With serialization and a standalone export in place, the natural next step is making trails comparable across runs rather than only across steps within one, though nothing in the entries commits to it yet.
