Photo stream is a simpler home for your photos by @maxvoltar and friends. Easy to use, self hosted, no tracking, just photos.
- Lazy loading
- Only load larger resolutions when needed (to save on bandwidth)
- Photo tints
- Keyboard shortcuts
- Unique URL's for photos
- RSS feed (Which you can plug into IFTTT and set up auto-posting to most social networks, like I've done here. Make sure you select "Post a tweet with image" when setting it up to embed the photo.)
- Drag, drop, commit workflow (learn more about how to add photos to your stream)
- Optional: Links to your social networks
We like to take photos and share them. Problem is it's hard to really own your photos and how they're represented across social media these days, so we set out to make a place for them. You host it yourself, wherever you want (Netlify, Github Pages...), you're in control.
- Fork this repo
- Clear the
photos/originalsdirectory - Add your own photos
- To apply your own site settings like site title or twitter name. Edit
congig.ymland replace attributes with your own. - Deploy your forked copy to Netlify (free by default, you can add your own domain and analytics for a reasonable price)
- In your build & deploy settings, set "Build command" to
jekyll buildand "Publish directory" to_site/. - Enjoy your very own photo stream!
