A significant portion of the backend logic, particularly for media handling and metadata extraction, is adapted from the Aves project. Aves is a beautiful and feature-rich gallery and metadata explorer for Android, and its source code was invaluable to the development of Lumina Gallery. The streams_channel package used in this project is also a part of the Aves project.
