PhotoShoop

A Rust server that recursively finds photos in "./" and serves them as a zero-UI slideshow at localhost:4015.

  • Shuffles photos, then loops through them
  • Transitions between slides every 4 seconds
  • Doesn't respond to touch events, except for fullscreen [F] button
  • Can handle iOS live photos (HEIC format)

Motivation: My kids love to look at family photos but can't be trusted with any app that has a "delete" button.
