I’m working on a free image gallery client and would like your ideas (self.lemmy)

The idea for me is to build a client which is solely focused on media consumption.

Currently the client is working completely without a separate backend, storing everything locally and these things are already implemented:

Search communities
Show recently visited communities (split by safe/nsfw)
Login to view NSFW communities
Different sort modes
Link extraction from Posts for albums
Saving posts locally (without images)
Show saved posts by community or all
URL mappings to remap from full URLs to embed URLs per provider
Keyboard navigation (Prev/Next Post/Image, Save Post)

These are planned additionally:

Proper instance selection / Login
See (follow) user posts (F keybind)
Block user posts (B keybind)
Show original post (O keybind)
Auto advance images (adjustable time)

Probably needs a nicer web UI as well but I plan to push it live this weekend to get some early feedback. Do you have any more suggestions?

Those are certainly some interesting things you mention. Multiple image columns might be an interesting idea and potentially something for a different viewing mode. I’ll definitely take a note about that.

For keybinds I thought about making them configurable, as they already map to specific actions anyways. For now they’re:

Q: Previous image in album or if beginning previous post E: Next image in album or if end next post A: Previous post E: Next Post S: Save Post

I‘m still considering if I want to add mod tools as well but for now I’ll focus on normal users.
