Frequently Asked Questions

Flickr encourages developers to build cool tools for you to play with, but you must authorize these third parties (us) to access your account. By doing so, this website can show you your images. We never see your password, for authentication is handled by Flickr. We also do not store or copy your photos, we only temporarily save the URLs in our database. You may tell us when to delete those by revoking the invitation (or setting the expiry time).

Of course.

We suck at designing websites, so it was easier just to copy Flickr's layout ;-)

Ok, an example. You just got married and took a whole bunch of awesome images. Your friend in Austria is a big geek and refuses to sign up for a Flickr account, but you still like him (and not your evil neighbour) to see the pictures of the best day in your life. Ta-da! Here you go!(of course the friend can be from Switzerland, or Sweden too).

For some reason, you've decided not to share photos with the rest of the world. Most likely because you don't like just anyone to view them, except for a select group of people. Now if you use this service, a unique link will be generated and send (by email) to the recipient. (S)he can do anything with that URL you can imagine: share it with your evil neighbour, sell it on eBay etc.

Perl, Catalyst, Template Toolkit, and DBIx::Class are simply awesome.

You shouldn't ask, but it started out as a bunch of geeks messing with Perl calling themselves "Scripters Without A Life". Many years later they got somewhat of a life and finally coded this website.
