Muzei is a live wallpaper application for Android that automatically refreshes the user's home and lock screen with artwork on a daily schedule. The system is built around a well-designed plugin architecture (muzei-api) that allows artwork to be sourced from curated feeds, the user's local photo gallery, single images, or third-party providers. The Android client features a custom OpenGL rendering engine (GLWallpaperService) for smooth transitions and visual effects like blur, dim, and greyscale overlays. A companion Android Wear app syncs the current wallpaper to smartwatch complications. The project also includes a web backend (Google App Engine, Python 2.7) that serves the curated artwork feed, manages an archive of past wallpapers, and provides an admin interface for scheduling. While the Android codebase is actively maintained and demonstrates strong engineering practices with several reusable components (e.g., cloud storage library, SVG path parser, GPU blur renderer), the web backend shows significant technical drift, relying on an EOL Python runtime and outdated JavaScript dependencies. The lack of visible unit tests is a notable gap for an application of this complexity.
