+# Schnappix
+
+Schnappix is a tablet-optimized Photobooth application built with React Native and Expo. It provides a full-featured, interactive photo capturing experience, complete with external hardware support and an administrative interface.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Photobooth Experience**: Intuitive flow from start screen to countdown, photo capture, and final preview.
+- **Multiple Photos & Collages**: Capture single or multiple photos and review them in a generated collage.
+- **Direct Printing**: Built-in support for IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) network printers to instantly print captured moments.
+- **Kiosk Mode**: Custom native Android implementation to lock the tablet down to the Schnappix app, preventing users from exiting the photobooth.
+- **USB Camera Support**: Extends standard camera capabilities to support external USB cameras for higher quality photos.
+- **Admin Dashboard**: Secure administrative screen (protected by an admin password) to configure settings on the fly:
+  - Countdown duration
+  - Printer IP address
+  - Kiosk mode toggle
+  - Admin password changes
+- **Offline Storage**: Saves captured photos directly to the device's local storage and gallery.
+
+## Tech Stack
+
+- **Framework**: [React Native](https://reactnative.dev/) (v0.85.3) & [Expo](https://expo.dev/) (SDK 56)
+- **Language**: TypeScript
+- **Key Libraries**:
+  - `expo-camera`: Camera interface
+  - `expo-media-library` & `expo-file-system`: Photo storage
+  - `ipp-encoder`: Network printing integration
+  - `react-native-view-shot`: Capturing collages as images
+  - Custom native Expo plugins (`withKioskAdmin`, `withUsbCamera`, `withSettingsRepositories`) for extended Android capabilities.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js (v18+)
+- npm or yarn
+- Expo CLI
+- Android Studio / Android SDK (for building the native Android app, as it uses custom native modules)
+
+### Installation
+
+1. Clone the repository:
+   ```bash
+   git clone <repository-url>
+   cd Schnappix
+   ```
+
+2. Install dependencies:
+   ```bash
+   npm install
+   ```
+
+3. Prebuild the native Android project (required due to custom native plugins):
+   ```bash
+   npx expo prebuild --platform android
+   ```
+
+4. Run the app on an Android device or emulator:
+   ```bash
+   npm run android
+   ```
+

+
+## Configuration
+
+When the app is first launched, you can access the **Admin Dashboard** from the Home screen. From here, you can define your hardware settings like the Printer's local IP address and adjust the capture countdown timer.
