photo stream

This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.

photo stream is (AKA photo feed) a page showing a series of photo posts, sometimes presented as a photo grid, typically for the purpose of showing and catching up with that photos someone has taken and posted recently, without their other posts interspersed.

Why

(this section is a stub, feel free to add your own reasons why!)

Tantek Çelik:
- I think having, sharing, and showing such a page would demonstrate the power of owning your own design on the IndieWeb — and how we make things just as beautiful as any app.
- Visualize a 100 days of Photos project at least while it’s happening

How to

(this section is a stub, please contribute specific steps you’ve taken to build and publish your own photo stream!)

See photo grid for a currently popular presentation of a photo stream, and examples for inspiration.

IndieWeb Examples

See photo grid: IndieWeb Examples for photo stream pages where the photos are displayed as a grid, which is quite common.

Feel free to add any non-grid IndieWeb photo stream examples here!

- For the 100 days of Photos project use-case:
  - provide URLs to link to a specific start date or end date to show a photo stream from or before a certain date
  - provide a way to show the next (or previous) n (like 100) items in the stream
  - or provide both start and end dates (or number of days) instead of a specific number of items
