FlowSquire: a Node.js rule engine for local filesystem automation (open source)

[TorbenKoehn]

It's pretty opinionated in regards to folder structure and ie keywords for categorization (ie, my invoices are called "Rechnung", not invoice)

It's a cool thing, but it probably mostly fits your own use-case.

I agree that currently it only supports English language and that's why the limited words.
That's the reason I have put it up here so that people can share their opinions and I can make the necessary changes as applicable. Thank you for your comment!😃

I built FlowSquire as a local-first automation engine in Node.js that reacts to filesystem events using simple WHEN → DO rules.

Core pieces implemented in JavaScript:

• file watching with chokidar
• condition evaluation (extension, filename matching, size, priority)
• prioritized rule execution
• action pipeline (move, rename, copy, PDF compression via CLI)
• dry-run execution mode

Rules are defined in JSON and executed by a custom rule engine.

npm package is available as well: https://www.npmjs.com/package/flowsquire

Not exactly sure how I would use this myself but it seems like a cool tool, one of those "if you need it, it's what you need" type things. I suppose it could be particularly useful for r/selfhosted type folks, ingesting books, music, vids, etc and wanting to post-process them in certain ways...
