Digital Picture Frames (lemmy.ml)

Does anyone know of a digital picture frame product that is good, but doesn't completely rely on some proprietary service? I'd prefer not to get something as a gift and then in a few years it completely stop working because the company that produced it no longer supports it.

You can probably slap something together with a Raspberry Pi and connect it to a low-ish power TV

Chromecast has a digital picture frame built in that uses Google Photos, if you trust that to stick around. You can plug it into any HDMI display.

I'm guessing something like Roku, Amazon, or Apple has a similar feature.
