…or buy a cheap digital picture frame from <mass market retailer>.

When my g-parents passed, and the family moved away, we bought everyone a cheap digital frame linked to a shared family album. They’re like 50-200$ depending on size. My grandmother was always bringing the family together, and we wanted to honor that with way to see each other across geographies.

Our chosen company’s albums have an email address that you email a photo to, and it displays on everyone’s frame. Very easy for everyone to contribute.

What brand and model did you buy? I've been looking for something like this for my family.
I got an "Aura" one. It works well and supports connecting a google photos album.
I think it’s NixPlay. I think they’re commodified though so I don’t know how much brand matters.
