Messing about with a sort of "gallery mode" frontend thingy as well for if you prefer to post lots of pictures and want your profile to look more like a gallery and less like a microblog
So basically instead of a list of statuses, in "gallery mode" your profile shows a responsive gallery of media gathered from your recent posts. In the screenshot there's only media from 1 post with 6 images, but potentially you could end up with... let's think... 120 images there, if you post 20 statuses with 6 attachments each.
So that should be kinda nice for people who just post lots of media :)
And when you click on each image to go the lightbox gallery view, there's a link to open the status URL. So folks can still see stuff you wrote to go along with the images.
This is all purely frontend stuff, on a federation + api level nothing changes if you set your profile to "gallery" mode (because it really doesn't need to)
I hope it will be useful to people!!!
the only thing missing is infinite scrolling but honestly dunno if i can be arsed doing that or even want it
Here look! Lil video of a profile set to gallery mode! Just gotta update the tests and also make it choosable on the settings panel, kapow!
