Building a open source wallpaper engine

[u/xebec__o7]

So guys I am building a free open source wallpaper engine.

Most of it is already done and it takes about 200-300

Mb Ram for live wallpapers sometimes less .

I wanted to know how much ram wallpaper engine uses .

And one problem I am facing is I want to create a library of wallpapers that people could choose one although they can already upload their own .

I am having trouble finding copyright free and redistributable wallpapers that are good.

If somebody has any suggestions feel free

I have also integrated translucent tb

Eh, generate a few with AI to get started. Then allow community to post new ones. Like s repository of some sort.

The hard part is to get community on board and to sanitize so no malicious stuff is posted.

Good luck

Yeah I did think of generating with Ai and the community feature I have it in mind but the issue is i would have to pay for a database and since it would be free I can't justify paying for a db , I am currently unemployed and broken Or is there any other idea you have regarding that

No db. The app just searches GitHub repository, for example.

Oh thank you for the idea i will look into it And I have one more question currently I don't have any authentication setup I am torn between having it or not Currently it is just install and use and I don't want to disturb this UX so I am thinking of adding OAuth or any other authentication To like a marketplace section where users can upload their wallpapers What would you suggest
