in plain english

Face Photo Search is a full-stack web application that lets you search for faces across a collection of photos using face recognition. It is split into two parts: a Python backend built with FastAPI that handles the face recognition logic, and a React frontend built with Vite that provides the user interface. To run it locally, you start the backend and frontend in separate terminal windows. The backend runs on port 8000 and the frontend on port 5173. Setup requires Python 3.8 or newer and Node.js with npm. The README is brief and covers only the setup steps and project structure. There is no description of the recognition algorithm used, how photos are indexed, or what the search interface looks like.

prompts (copy fr)

prompt 1
Start the face-photo-search backend and frontend locally, then upload a photo of a person and search for all matching images in a test folder with 50 photos.
prompt 2
Modify the face-photo-search FastAPI backend to accept a folder path at startup and pre-index all JPG files in that folder before the first search request.
prompt 3
Add a confidence threshold slider to the face-photo-search React frontend so users can filter search results by recognition confidence score.
