Journey is a script to display your photos in a randomized order, at randomized sizes. Journey also randomized backgrounds, with automatically geometrically generated patterns that fade into each other to compliment the atmosphere of photo browsing.
A demo of Journey is available here, a demo of Journey in boring mode is available here.
It supports hierarchical, recursively nested tags/albums (albums that contain albums).
It also supports private collections (any collection whose name contains the word
private will not be discoverable by default).
The lowest primitive in Journey is folders, which contain photos. To get started,
copy sample_config.py to config.py and modify the collections parameter
to map album names to folders.
The configuration also allows you to change the display style of the grid; see the provided lambdas.
To run Journey, install Python 3 then Flask with python3 -m pip install flask.
Then, run Journey with python3 journey.py to serve from the Flask dev server.
Instructions for deploying with Apache/nginx follow standard Flask procedures.
Journey is mostly created for my use, and I make no guarantees that the code is pretty; feel free to run and modify if the spirit compels you.
If you do manage to get this running, help with a better README is always appreciated.
