A gallery is definitely the most underrated and often overlooked application found on almost every device and for every OS, yet hardly a few of them work well or work at all. And Most of the time, they are just cloud based services packaged in Electron.js.

So, after much annoyance from the several alternatives, I spent the past year developing Miscible - a local-first, modern, and high-performance gallery application. It's still in alpha, however most of the core features are complete.

Key Details:

• Tech Stack: Built from scratch in native C++ using Dear ImGui for UI. No Electron or embedded webview.
• Tiny Footprint: The entire binary is only around 8MB. (I'm also surprised)
• IT HAS AI features (sold!! 😂)
• NOT an AI-coded slop.

I would love to hear your feedback, bug reports, or feature ideas!
