Score: 6.0/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 6, Documentation: 7, Utility: 5)

Photo Ferret is an open-source photo album that uses an AI image model to automatically tag photos on dozens of visual attributes, enabling visitors to filter a large collection with sliders, a color picker, and yes/no tags instead of scrolling. It provides a local authoring tool and a static site export for hosting, with all filtering running client-side. The project is interesting for its rich attribute-based filtering and experimental 3D map, though it is currently tied to a specific paid AI service.

Target audience: photographers, frontend developers, backend developers
