This is perfect, thank you so much. Two-fold: I opened my site up, too, though for different reasons. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. Mine isn't anywhere near this awesome, though, and it's just starting! And, I think I'll be able to learn a lot about the proper way to do things by seeing how you did things, like different code patterns and development decisions, etc.

Thanks!

Wow, I somehow missed this project. Awesome work. Have been urgently needing an alternate to Flickr/Picasaweb/500px lately and really haven't liked most the other options out there. I've signed up for a proper play.

I hadn't been promoting it too much until now as I was waiting to get the terms of service sorted out (as lots of photographers are rightly protective of their images).

I'm always keen to hear any feedback you have, and obviously now you can also help contribute to making it the site you want too :D

If you have any questions then don't hesitate to ask! Some of what I do is a little different (like using Slim or locales everywhere) and I'm happy to help explain.

Absolutely. Where did you want suggestions submitted? For example it definitely needs to let you change settings (license, comments on/off/comment-topics, etc) on multiple images at once. Like Flickr's batch uploader/editor.

I agree! There's a sorta multiple-editor at the moment but it only lets you switch collections right now. I'm happy for suggestions to go in GitHub issues at the moment; I'll tag them appropriately and it'll help me see what needs doing :D

This seems just like something I was looking for, just registered few moments ago!

If anyone's interested in localising the app for their native language then please let me know (@robotmay). There's near-complete support for I18n throughout the entire app and it should, in theory, be quite straightforward.

I recommend putting it up on http://transifex.com for translation, we use that for ownCloud too. There’s a command-line tool to update strings and to import new translations, and Transifex is open source as well.

Sweet, I've not come across that before. I'll sort out an account on there this evening as it looks really neat. Thanks!
