   How hard would it be to make your own digital photo frame, where multiple people can easily share photos that show up in the "frame"?

   Would you need a single board computer and a server and tons of knowledge about databases, or could you just install an app on an old tablet, for example?

     @forteller A shared album in Google Photos in slideshow mode on a tablet would do this. But perhaps you want a more Google-free option.

     @fm_volker Hey, that sounds really awesome! Wow! :D

     So, my thought are that it's mostly for people to very easily stay in touch with their elderly parents, by sending photos from their lives and of grandchildren etc. So it needs to work remotely, yes, and any number of people should be able to add photos. As to deleting, I don't think anyone will actually go trough manually and do that, so my initial thought is that that should happen automatically based on time + number of available pictures?

     @forteller Write up the actual requirements (when/who should be able to delete photos? should this work remotely or just in proximity? ...) and I'll turn this into a Bachelor-project next year at #HVL :-)

     (Because I dabble in server-less stuff.)

     But I would almost assume that some solution already exists somewhere, and an ESP32 might almost be enough, I'd guess.
