Photoroid

---------

Photoroid is a dead-simple web application for sharing pictures. It was

designed to be used by non-advanced users. Photoroid has the following features

that set it appart from other solutions such as Piwigo, Flickr, Dropbox or

Picasa.

- Album sharing through private URLs.

- No account creation required for non-album administrators.

- No desktop application required.

- One-click album download.

- No space limitation, since you can host it on your own server.

Install

-------

  git clone https://github.com/regisb/photoroid.git && cd photoroid

  bundle install --path vendor/cache && rake db:migrate

  rails server

Now head over at http://0.0.0.0:3000 to see the application in action.

You might want to limit album creation to certain users. To do so, edit the

app/models/user.rb file and add the authorized email addresses to the

whitelist. Not very intuitive, but it works.

Limitations

-----------

Photoroid currently misses some important features:

- Album download seems to be broken on Windows whenever the album name contains

  non ASCII characters.

- The GUI is awful.

- Image display is synchronous, so that albums that contain many images may

  take a long time to load.

- Zip file archives are never deleted.

- Zip file archives are re-created every time a user clicks on "Download album".

- Password reset links do not expire.

- Image may be displayed with the wrong orientation.

Photoroid is not a finished application yet, but I decided to release it

because 1) It works 2) It would greatly benefit from exterior comments.

Open Source

I am mightily open to contributions! This code is copyrighted under the terms

of the Apache License, v2.0 and I would be glad to add your name to the

list of contributors. In particular, I am looking forward to comments on my

Rails code and contributions from web designer to improve the CSS and the

general layout of the application.
