Pi Slide API

This is a really early API (and eventually a UI) for managing various aspects of pislide-os. It can currently do the following:

• Change slideshow settings
• Start/Stop the slideshow service (not in the UI yet)
• Upload and manage photos (not in the UI yet)

The UI is definitely not ready for full-time use, but the API can be tested via the /api-ref endpoint.

Other planned features

• Shutdown/Restart the OS
• Resize large images on upload (if needed)
• Convert small looping videos into actual gifs
• Finish and zhuzh up the frontend

Frontend

The frontend is written with SvelteKit and uses Bulma for CSS. It's built statically and gets bundled in frontend/build. It's using the current LTS version of node (as of this writing: node v20.15 - npm v10.7.0) and I'm trying out Svelte 5.

Building and Running

Assuming you have golang setup, after pulling down this repository:

go run cmd/pislide-api/main.go # or run with gow(https://github.com/mitranim/gow) for hot reloading

• The API will be available at http://localhost:8888/api-ref.
• The frontend will run at / with the static build from frontend/build.

If you are working on frontend development, you'll want to then start the frontend process:

cd frontend
npm run dev -- --open

and then go to http://localhost:5173/ to see the live changes.
