SnapSort Screenshot — Cross-Platform Face-Sorting App

🚀 SnapSort v2.0 is Live — Now with Website & Human-in-the-Loop Face Merging!

After an amazing response to v1, I'm excited to announce the v2.0.0 release of SnapSort — a cross-platform, open-source desktop app for sorting and browsing your photo collection by detected faces, now with even more power, polish, and a brand new website! 🌐

➡️ Website: snapsort-website.vercel.app
➡️ GitHub: github.com/ASK-03/SnapSort

💡 What’s New in v2.0?

🧠 Human Feedback Loop for Face Grouping

Faces are now smarter — you can manually merge similar-looking face groups using a dedicated interface. This adds a layer of human-in-the-loop accuracy to your photo organization!

🎨 UI/UX Overhaul

  • Modern, polished interface for a smoother experience
  • Dark mode support
  • Easier navigation, better layout, and responsive feel

🛠️ Under-the-Hood Upgrades

  • Major code refactor for performance & maintainability
  • Added docstrings across modules for dev onboarding
  • Modularized core logic for easier contributions

📦 Download SnapSort v2.0

🔍 Core Features (Still Awesome)

  • Scan local folders of .jpg / .png images
  • Detect and index faces
  • Browse all images containing a selected face
  • View “group photos” with all selected faces together
  • Fully offline & privacy-preserving
  • Cross-platform: works on Windows, macOS, and Linux
