Preamble
This summer my friends and I made a little trip. As usual, a lot of impressions and emotions that I wanted to share. Therefore, I began every evening to upload photos taken during the day, accompanying them with comments. Where to lay out a special choice was not - contact. It can be treated differently, but there is the highest concentration of my friends. The publication process was inconvenient. Yes, and viewing is not pleased: small photos "by default", all photos are the same size, etc. Therefore, I decided to write a service for myself.
So was born
Photory.me .
Idea and implementation
The main idea was to present the stories in the form of a single page, with large photographs and texts. The editor is WYSIWYG, which repeats the browsing interface, with the exception of small details. The thought was born, and I rushed.
The creation of the service itself took 5-7 days. Most of the time was spent on selecting and finishing various galleries, panels and inline editors. On the face it turned out jQuery with 5-6 plugins. On the server, who would doubt

Key points:
- Registration is optional
- "Sharpened" under the big photos
- Two types of photo organization: big key and sets
- WYSIWYG editor
And now about the main thing
What's next? Now the service is used by me and a few friends. In order for them to be used by the masses, it is necessary to fix a handful of minor bugs for IE and Safari. But is it worth it? Suddenly nobody needs it.
Actually this post I want to find out - is there a need for such a service from a wide audience?
