I would like something like that not as a service but instead to create locally so I can just upload a static directory to my own server (or neocities, etc.) so I don't have to upload my pictures to yet another 3rd party.

Same here. My parents had big books full of pictures of my brother and me. I only have digital photos of my kids.

I'm looking for the equivalent, a local (everything not under my control is out, no saas) solution. Mediagoblin _might_ solve this in the future. Openphoto/trovebox seemed promising. So far I haven't found something that looks right though.

Please don't mess with my ability to scroll through content. Additionally, having content in between the nav breaks is infuriating, and my scroll bar is gone.

Your comment is overly harsh but I find the reaction interesting. It’s getting more common here.

In other cases I’m also disturbed by the broken scrolling but in this case my only complaint is the space bar not working. This is a slideshow, but it feels like scrolling because it goes vertically and the scroll bar works. I’m pretty sure if the scroll bar were completely disabled and there was a [next] button with a different transition you wouldn’t complain because you wouldn’t think of it as broken scrolling, but just as another slideshow.

So, my suggestion to the author: make it slide horizontally.

Interesting concept, but I'm with SDGT on breaking scrolling. If it's a slideshow that's one thing, but when you're having me scroll with my touchpad (because nobody wants to click those tiny dots on the right that are overly popular) it's extremely frustrating to not have a direct correlation to the speed with which I'm scrolling. Worse yet is when it scrolls further than I wanted and I have to scroll back up again.

Also, I love Medium's design as much as the next person, but I honestly thought I had landed on a Medium blog for the first few seconds.
