Products that do what Lightning Image Viewer – overlay, map-like controls, toggling, image-rs does

Hi HN! I'd like to share my app for viewing images the way I find comfortable on a desktop computer. No window frame, no menus, no toolbars, just the image itself in transparent fullscreen overlay; pan (move around) with mouse with left button pressed (or keyboard arrows), zoom into point under cursor with scroll (or into point at center of display with keyboard +=/-/0), close with left click anywhere (or keyboard Enter, allowing "instant toggle" between file manager and image view).

Polarr webkit and webGL app on MAS▲6
Hello HN, We pushed our new version of the Polarr Photo Editor today, this time for Mac OSX! (10.10+). the app is mostly WebGL in WKWebView with a native interface for RAW decoding, gestures, and file sharing. And because of these, we managed to pack everything down to a few MB. The app is currently featured as the best new app in Mac app store, and is $9.99 for a limited time (there is a free lite version with reduced feature). You can learn more about the app in here (sorry it's not yet mobile optimized) https://www.polarr.co/mac Would love to hear feedbacks and see what you…
