Photofield Part 1: Origins: Gallery Begins: The Beginning

lnar.dev Photofield Part 1: Origins: Gallery Begins: The Beginning - lnar/dev

The beginning of the story of Photofield, a non-invasive local photo viewer with a focus on speed and simplicity.

Hi! I've posted on photofield here before - my self-hosted photo gallery software. There's been a bunch of changes since last time that you can check out in the CHANGELOG, but this is my first attempt to write about why I made it and how it's different! Any feedback is welcome!

This is awesome, thanks for the good read. I'm looking forward to see where this goes from here.
I tried photofield and I loved it. What was missing for me was folder view! If it will be ever added, I will switch immediately.
- Thanks! Do you mean explorer-like folder browsing?
  
  All my photos are sorted into albums, i always browse them by album.
  
  Don't care for "explorer like" but I need to see them as the albums they are part of, like all together in the same view, and be able to select which album/albums I want to look at
