This is the way to do it, good work and great that you posted this. The first release of my 40 million download app was held together by proverbial ducktape - yet the lessons learned from actually releasing it got me to come up with much better updates: https://willem.com/en/2018-02-21_updating-snake-97/

After extensive search and trying various apps I found the libre/free Aves Gallery app to be really good. I am curious about what you use or prefer.

As a metaphor aficionado (book tip: Metaphors we live by), I figured random images would be a lovely way to allow visitors of willem.com to discover stories. Before I knew it, I was in the rabbit hole. Released under AGPL (backstory: https://willem.com/en/2025-08-11_willemstagram/)
