New photos page for Micro.blog-hosted blogs: manton.org
@manton Sweet! 👏🏻 This will definitely be a useful tool in helping people to leave Instagram.
@manton awesome!
Question: went to rename the page, but only saw buttons for “back” and “delete page” — is the renaming of the photos page automatic once leaving the text field (on an iPad)?
@manton Nice! Thanks for this. Looks great. At least on my page it looks like it's ~50 most recent photos, whereas Microgram went all the way back—is that correct or am I doing something wrong?
@dancohen The first time it updates, it refreshes with a smaller number of recent posts but it should then update with everything. Let me know if all photos don't appear. (I'll look into improving this.)
@manton Yep, that’s what happened! They are all there now. Thanks again for adding this native feature. I stopped using Instagram over a year ago and have been thankful for a page on the open web to point people to for my photos.
@manton Thanks for this - I'd forgotten I wanted it 😁 Implemented on two micro.blogs including mine with customized theme.
@manton This is awesome and thank you! Quick question, this will show every type of photo? Is there or will there be a way to filter it to show only photos with a specific tag?
@andynicolaides It's loading now. Not sure why it didn't appear right away. (Possibly it waits until something else updates, which I can fix.)
@manton mine populates links to posts but the thumbs have broken image links: chrishandy.blog/photos/
@Gabz I think that's the next step... Offer some filter options. (For example, I personally don't need screenshots included on that page.)
@kapsa That's true. It seemed like the best default, but we could provide a way to customize it to show more photos. (Or maybe a single "cell" with a stack of photos? Not sure.)
@manton Sweet. This is also a great addition to my photos-only microblog. That way, I can display photos in a single column on the main page but have an option for a grid of photos on a separate page for quick navigation.
BTW maybe a bug but I tried changing the name of the page from 'Photos' to something else since it lets you but there's no way to save the new name.
