Let's Make a Photo-booth in React!
summary
Builds a working photo‑booth MVP for a wedding: initial Electron desktop app connects an Arduino button and webcam, captures via getUserMedia and draws to canvas, and uploads photos to Firebase storage anonymously where guests scan a QR to download. Migrates to a web version on a Raspberry Pi using the Pi camera, a script that maps GPIO button presses to keyboard events, and React + Raspberry Pi for UI. Chroma‑keying fails (green shirt disappears) and off‑the‑shelf webcams cause slow Pi performance so native Pi modules are recommended.
