Introducing Camera Roll
Added a new section to the blog, the Camera Roll . This is my take on the reverse chronological image/video grid that is so popular in many social media apps today.
There are many reasons to dislike Instagram these days:
- changes in moderation
- ending end-to-end encryption
- targeting rage bait to increase screen time
- stealing and selling everyones' data
So I decided to roll my own! It doesn't have a comment section (yet?) and I've decided to paginate for now instead of an infinite scroll approach. I think pagination is just kind of nice. It can give you a mental resting point each time you have to click to the next page.
Maybe I should implement stories on my blog. I can put a fun outline around the title at the top, and when you click it it will show some modal box with vertical form videos that only last for 24hours..a few years ago everyone was implementing stories in every app.
