A no-account tool that turns a Google Photos share link into a private slideshow URL for any screen with internet access.

Why it surfaced

Looping is unusually candid about its bargain: photos travel directly from Google to the screen, while the creator cannot disable a leaked share link or promise that Google will keep supporting the unofficial technique. It is a small, useful household tool with a clear human origin—one person built it for his own flat—and unusually responsible documentation of what can go wrong.
