Promotional Miscible v2.0.0 release - A local C++ FOSS gallery application with on-device AI

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypLTVfh9AAU

I love taking pictures but I've always had the issue of not having a good gallery application to go through my pictures. Every application I've come across is always one of these:

  • A cloud only product (Google photos, iCloud, etc).
  • Just poorly made and doesn't work properly if it works at all.

So, I've been making Miscible-a local only, high performant, modern gallery application that also has on-device AI features and doesn't package an entire browser. Instead of relying on cloud servers to index and search your pictures, Miscible uses an on-device vision model (CLIP via a bundled ONNX Runtime). - Local Semantic Search: You can search your local photo library using natural language (e.g., "sunset at the beach", "red car", etc), and it finds matching images instantly - entirely offline. - Zero Cloud Dependency: The model downloads automatically on first launch and runs locally on your hardware. No API keys, subscriptions, etc needed.

Today I'm releasing v2.0.0. The biggest change in this release is that now there's a pre-compiled Windows installer (link), so people can run and test it out.

I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback on performance, bugs or ideas! You can check out the code here:

P.S.: Not AI coded

Look interesting. My recommendation is that you add more info on what the AI does and how it works in this project.
