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
