Hey All, Recently I've tried Flickr as well as the typo plugins for putting photos on my blog, but what I found is that if I put more than 5 photos on one page/article it would just stop processing and give a timeout (and I really tried fixing that!). Nor did I really like the idea of putting all my photos on "some site" somewhere.
Maybe a shameless plug, but for the above reasons I have been working on my own iPhoto/Flickr clone in Ruby on Rails, which is currently still very limited: - It has an API (but no api-keys like Flickr), it doesn't support the Flickr api's though they should be somewhat similar. - The new version (in development) is supporting tags - There is currently no support for manipulating the photos on the server However, I did write a Typo plugin which allows me to do photo "popups" (uses lightbox.js) by "grabbing" individual photos or whole albums, for me it already does what it needs to do. I'm working on it, have not yet considered open-sourcing (but I might) and have some good ideas... More information on it and on the Typo plugin can be found here: http://www.degrunt.net/articles/2006/08/06/drkroom-progress/ Regards, Tom.
