I’m converting my deprecated Gen2 Nest into a mini digital photo frame and just got a test image loading. I would have abandoned this project already if it weren’t for Claude Code, which is making the trial and error of it fun.

Omg PLEASE tell me the dial will scrub through photos

That's the plan! To make it easier to update the gallery, the Nest will be pulling the images from a web folder, so you probably won't be able to scrub too quickly. Not sure yet how many I'll be able to cache at a time.

My dream would be to hook it up to Immich. Maybe somehow fork the immich-kiosk

That could be cool! One of the hurdles I ran into is that there's no way to render jpg/gif/png on the device, so each photo has to be resized to 320x320 and converted to bgra .raw file. 🙃
