A continuous slideshow of curated family photos with a quiz layered on top, gated by per-person logins.

The architecture is deliberately boring where it matters: photos live in a plain directory on home storage, and the app mints its own short-lived signed URLs rather than handing out paths. There is no cloud storage bucket and no third-party auth provider — an earlier version had both, and removing them removed most of the operational surface along with the monthly bill.

Quiz state lives in a self-hosted Postgres. Nothing about this system is reachable from the public internet, and no real frames appear anywhere in this portfolio.
