Create browsable web page

[wilzbach]

Automatically generated Github Pages or another visualization format
for convenient browsing.

Ideas are welcome ;-)

I was planning on throwing something together quickly, however, unless you have another form of hosting, this might be quite difficult.

The reason why this might be difficult, is because GitHub pages requires that you put the page that you want to be "published" under the gh-pages branch.

My plan, was to create a(n) über simple set of pages (one or two, three at the very most), that would use relative paths to "fetch" the images.

Actually, I can throw something together, using the GitHub API and a simple gh-pages branch.

A couple of my ideas:

• Jekyll and Github pages (we probably have to manually list the images in the main yaml)
• my VPS (hosting is for free, deployment could be done with rsync, but no stability guarantees)
• AWS S3

Hey let's not make our lifes too complicated, I just saw that Jekyll supports iteration of static files builtin without the need of any plugins :)

{% for image in site.static_files %}
    {% if image.path contains 'images' %}
        <img src="{{ site.baseurl }}{{ image.path }}" alt="image" />
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

btw it's great to hear from other D-man enthusiasts :)

I like your ideas. I don't have any experience with Jekyll, but I'd imagine it's probably not very difficult.

The GitHub API is actually pretty straight-forward.

Yes, I quickly put something together. Feel free to improve upon that (I am not a designer by any means).

That's pretty neat, actually. I don't think it needs any improvement.

I'm a terrible designed, so I can't help you there, sorry.
