SwiftSee

Recently, I was looking through old family media on my NAS. When I was using Windows, it worked fine. Explorer gave decent thumbnails. Irfanview and VLC allowed quick views of individual photos and videos.

MacOS, however, was not so simple. VLC still works, but Preview is nowhere near Irfanview. I played with a few, and [PhoenixSlides](https://blyt.net/phxslides/) 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.

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.

Thus, I start my journey here in HashNode, working on a project I have dubbed “SwiftSee”
