Flickaway: a flickr viewer
Even if I like flickr, sometimes I'd prefer to have a simpler space for my pictures.
I wrote this little javascript program to do just that.
Features:
- It's javascript-only, no server code is required.
- Images are pulled straight away from flickr, no storage is required.
- Supports bookmarking.
- Supports history: you can use back/forward buttons.
- All code is open source.
Try the DEMO (my pictures). And if you are so inclined...
Install it on your web server (it will display your pictures, not mine)
- You only need to download one html file and publish it somewhere in your website.
- It will always be up-to-date: the html file is 'almost empty' and loads the required javascript and and styles from the net.
As I add features and fix bugs, you'll always have the latest release.
- It's skinnable, so you can style it to match your taste.
Use the javascript-only setup wizard to get started.
Bugs & bites
If you wish to see new features, notify a bug or get in touch for whatever reason, please
open a case or mail me at matteo.caprari .at. gmail.com
Stuff I'm working on:
- History works only in firefox (and chrome maybe). IE requires iframe games, safari some other kinky trick.
- The set selection menu gets a bit crazy if there are many sets or have very long names
- Automating packing files together (now it's copy'n paste).
- Automate deploy on amazon s3 with metadata configuration.
- Large versions of the pictures are often not available, need a way to detect that.
- Documentation on writing skins.
- Style this page ;-)
