Photoframe

Photo frame app for Google Photos

Usage

Create an album in Google Photos called Photoframe and add any images that you want to display. Up to 50 of the most recent images from the album will be shown in a random order.

Motivation

I wanted to repurpose an unused Android tablet that I had lying in a drawer into a digital photo frame for a bookshelf and I couldn't find any existing free apps in the app store that looked suitable.

Technology

JavaScript, Node.js, Express.

Development

# install dependencies
npm install

# create env file
cp .env.sample .env

# start server
npm start

# watch for changes
npm run dev

A Dockerfile has been included for building the app in container environments.

Future

  • Pagination to fetch more than 50 images
  • Animated transitions between slides
