Hmm, this looks great. I'd really love to pair it with a simple way to add text or tags to my photos. What is the simplest way to write "Visit to the creek after the bushfire" and save it with the two or three photos I took that day? I wish (hope?) something simple like this is supported in a linux picture viewing application, and I just don't know which one it is. Can a line or two of text be stored in an EXIFish field? Has someone already written a script to take care of this? But back to the main point - this is a great app and I can see myself using it to share photos with friends and family. Thanks for making it :)

This is built using Jekyll, which has built-in support for both categories and tags (for blog posts, anyway) via yaml front-matter: https://jekyllrb.com/docs/posts/#categories-and-tags https://jekyllrb.com/docs/posts/#categories-and-tags That might be more involved than you want, but given the structure of this project I don't know of a better way.

As for the 'linux picture viewing application', I've started using the mpv video player[1] for showing a local gallery of photos and videos. Text is added as subtitle files, such as SubRip .srt files[2]. Image-specific options can be configured in mpv, such as the "image-display-duration"[3].

Something like Lychee might provide more of the feature set you want. https://github.com/electerious/Lychee https://github.com/electerious/Lychee

EXIF has a well-adopted Comments tag (if you edit the comments on Windows, it'll show up under XPComments). You can pull them out with exiftool, and using -j renders output as json. If you want cross-platform support, auto-install of exiftool, better parsed results, and typescript typings, you can use https://github.com/photostructure/exiftool-vendored.js https://github.com/photostructure/exiftool-vendored.js (which I extracted from PhotoStructure and open-sourced).
