Which one should I pick for a new project?

That depends entirely on what you're building. These are two fundamentally different projects:

kestra-io/kestra is an orchestration and scheduling platform for workflows — it's for automating data pipelines, AI workflows, and infrastructure tasks. Pick this if you need to:

• Schedule and trigger complex workflows (event-driven or time-based)
• Orchestrate tasks across databases, APIs, and cloud services
• Build data pipelines or automation platforms
• Version control workflows as code with Git integration

pqpo/smartcropper is an Android image-processing library focused on intelligent document/photo cropping (IDs, business cards, documents). Pick this if you need to:

• Crop photos intelligently on Android devices
• Detect and extract document boundaries in real-time
• Build a camera-based scanning feature into an Android app

In summary:

• kestra = workflow orchestration platform (backend/DevOps-focused)
• smartcropper = mobile image processing library (Android-focused)

They solve completely different problems. Choose based on what your project actually needs to do.
