Image and photo viewer apps

The dated history includes 20 entries from November 2011 to July 2026, spread across many months with mostly single entries and occasional clusters, indicating a sporadic release cadence without a clear trend. Traction is led by vision-scope-desktop with 4 stars, followed by Kova-Image and c-image-viewer with 1 star each.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
