Is there any static site generators for photos? Something like "host your own flickr"? Something that uses exif tags, directory hierarchy, etc to make a static browsable list of your photos?

I've built a Flickr plugin https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pelican-flickr for Pelican. You can embed your photosets alongside your posts & pages...

Build your own. I've written something like that. It's not static, because I don't want to have to rebuild everything just 'cause I added a new photo, or fix a type. However, you do literately just use the file system to add and manage photos. I won't link to it because I don't want to link to my real ID. But it's pretty simple. You just have to recursively go over the folder, and get each photo. Make sure there is a…

Some generators (e.g. gostatic) can track changes and dependencies, rebuilding just what changed.

Yeah I was gonna do that, but wanted to check if anyone else had done it before I reinvent the wheel. :)

Something similar: http://staticgen.com/ Same idea, but staticgen.com is a little easier to navigate but don't think it's quite as comprehensive.

Thanks for the mention - we're working on a new version that'll be open-source and more comprehensive (though still limited to open-source static site generators). Stay tuned :)

I like the additional info on that site! Would you want to consolidate efforts and use:

as an underlying list, too? Maintaining a listing is pretty tedious with all the SSGs out there. I can set up web hooks and whatever to push to your servers if the listing changes.
