Show HN: SlideShow – a simple, cross-platform full-screen photo slideshow
SlideShow is a simple, cross-platform full-screen photo slideshow application, designed to work across different operating systems with minimal configuration. The project is available on GitHub for users who want a lightweight slideshow tool.
Background
- The post is a "Show HN" on Hacker News, meaning the author is sharing their own project with the community.
- This is a new open-source photo slideshow app built with Tauri (a Rust-based framework for lightweight desktop apps) and Vue.js. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single codebase.
- It offers full-screen slideshows with randomized or sequential display, EXIF-based date sorting, folder selection, optional subfolder inclusion, and keyboard navigation (Esc to exit, Space to toggle slideshow, left/right arrows to browse).
- Cross-platform desktop slideshow tools tend to be either abandoned, OS-specific, or feature-bloated; this project aims to fill a simple, modern niche. No web version or mobile support is mentioned.
