Flickr importer Photo site

Example site produced as a result of a flickr import

Marcus Povey

Ok, so earlier I talked a bit about a Flickr photo import script for Known.

Since self-dogfooding is important, I thought I’d point you guys to my new photos site, which uses the data produced by the script’s output.

My script imports all photos, videos and tags, and also stores collections and sets.

Known currently doesn’t have a concept of grouping stuff together (although this might be on the roadmap for the future), so for the time being I’ve stored them as a GenericDataItem object. The site’s custom theme makes use of these to render sets and collections in a sensible way.

Still tweaking, but I’m pretty pleased with the results so far!
