# Image Dataset Viewer

A simple Streamlit application to browse images from your Discord chat dataset.

## Features

- 📋 Dropdown to select different channels
- 🖼️ View images with navigation controls
- ⬅️➡️ Previous/Next buttons and slider navigation
- 📊 Display metadata for each image
- 📱 Responsive layout

## Setup and Usage

### Option 1: Using the run script (Recommended)
```bash
./run.sh
```

### Option 2: Manual setup
1. Create a virtual environment:
   ```bash
   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   ```

2. Install dependencies:
   ```bash
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   ```

3. Run the application:
   ```bash
   streamlit run image_viewer.py
   ```

## How it works

The application:
1. Loads the `images_dataset.json` file from the parent directory
2. Extracts unique channel names from the dataset
3. Allows you to select a channel from a dropdown
4. Displays images from that channel with navigation controls
5. Shows metadata including author, timestamp, and message content

## Dataset Structure

The app expects your dataset to have entries with:
- `channel`: The channel name
- `image_url`, `image_path`, `url`, or `attachment_url`: The image location
- `author`: The message author (optional)
- `timestamp`: When the message was sent (optional)
- `content` or `message`: The message text (optional)

## Troubleshooting

- If images don't load, check that the URLs in your dataset are accessible
- For local images, ensure the paths are relative to the project root
- Large datasets may take a moment to load initially
