MMM-GooglePhotos is a MagicMirror² module that displays photos from Google Albums on a smart mirror dashboard. It features a clean architecture separating UI logic (MMM-GooglePhotos.js) from backend processing (node_helper.js), with a well-abstracted Google Photos API client (GPhotos.js). The module handles OAuth2 authentication, automatic token refresh, paginated API requests, photo filtering (by date, dimensions, aspect ratio), sorting, and caching to minimize API calls. It supports user interactions via notifications for navigating photos and uploading new images to designated albums.

Ente is a multi-product, end-to-end encrypted cloud platform providing photo storage (Ente Photos), two-factor authentication (Ente Auth), secure document vault (Ente Locker), social photo sharing (Ente Space), AI chat assistant (Ente Ensu), ephemeral pastebin (Ente Paste), and media casting (Ente Cast). The system is built as a monorepo with a Go server backend, Rust core libraries for cryptography, machine learning, and media processing, and client applications across web (React/Next.js), mobile (Flutter, native Android/iOS), desktop (Electron), and CLI (Go and Rust). Architecture follows a zero-knowledge design: all encryption (XChaCha20-Poly1305, Argon2, X25519) happens client-side, with keys never exposed to the server. The server handles user accounts, file storage (S3-compatible), billing (Stripe), ML indexing, and sharing. Key entry points include the Go server at `server/cmd/museum`, Rust WASM bindings for web crypto, and Flutter apps with native plugins. Data flows involve client-side encryption before upload, server-side metadata storage in PostgreSQL, and decryption on download. External dependencies include PostgreSQL, S3-compatible object storage, Stripe, ONNX Runtime for ML, and various cloud infrastructure (Cloudflare Workers, Grafana, Prometheus).

ZLPhotoBrowser is a mature, feature-rich iOS library for selecting, previewing, and editing photos and videos, inspired by the WeChat photo picker. It provides a full-screen image/video preview with pinch-to-zoom, a custom camera with photo and video recording, and an extensive image editor supporting drawing, mosaic, text/image stickers, filters, brightness/contrast/saturation adjustments, and clipping with various aspect ratios. The library also handles GIFs, Live Photos, and video trimming/merging. It is built entirely in Swift and targets iOS 10+. The architecture is UIKit-based, centered around a navigation controller flow (`ZLImageNavController`) that manages album list (`ZLAlbumListController`), thumbnail grid (`ZLThumbnailViewController`), and preview (`ZLPhotoPreviewController`). Configuration is handled via singleton classes (`ZLPhotoConfiguration`, `ZLPhotoUIConfiguration`, `ZLEditImageConfiguration`) with a builder-pattern chaining API. The library uses `PHPhotoLibrary` for asset fetching, `AVFoundation` for camera and video processing, and `Core Image` for filters. It includes custom interactive transitions for dismiss and pop animations, and a gesture coordinator for sticker manipulation. Key entry points are `ZLPhotoPicker` (SwiftUI wrapper) and `ZLPhotoPreviewSheet` (UIKit) for presenting the picker. The library has no external dependencies for its core functionality; the example app bundles Kingfisher and SnapKit for demonstration purposes. It supports CocoaPods, Carthage, and Swift Package Manager, and includes localization for 17 languages. The codebase is well-structured with clear separation of concerns, though some view controllers are large and there is minor duplication in transition logic.
