When I was using Windows, it worked fine. Explorer gave decent thumbnails. Irfanview and VLC allowed quick views of individual photos and videos.</p>
<p>MacOS, however, was not so simple. VLC still works, but Preview is nowhere near Irfanview. I played with a few, and [PhoenixSlides](<a target="_blank" href="https://blyt.net/phxslides/">https://blyt.net/phxslides/</a>) is alright. However, Finder is nowhere near as good as Windows Explorer. Phoenix slides kinda makes up for it a bit, but the thumbnail sizes are too small on my large display.</p>
<p>There are probably many solutions to this problem, but I’m a developer. Of course I had to roll my own. It didn’t hurt that I was looking for an excuse to learn SwiftUI on MacOS. And where better to start than by learning a new blogging platform at the same time.</p>
<p>Thus, I start my journey here in HashNode, working on a project I have dubbed “SwiftSee”</p>
