Authentication
We’re now back to authenticating with read permissions only. If you’ve authorized with write permissions already and want to downgrade them to read, remove your Flickr account from Flickr Photosets (make sure you revoke permissions), and reauthorize.

Collections
Flickr has finally made Collections available through their API, so they’re now supported in Flickr Photosets! The Collections tab should automatically appear and can be disabled on the configuration tab.
Collections integration has not been throughly tested, so make sure you report any bugs you encounter to the discussion boards. In addition, it is considered “experimental” by...

Comments are Back
After some issues with the Intense Debate comment system, I’ve switched to Disqus. You shouldn’t have to log in since Facebook Connect has been activated for the comments.
Stay tuned for more updates…

Redesign Launch
The redesign is finally ready and I’ll be launching it on Saturday night. With this redesign you’ll be forced to move to the new Facebook profile because the app will not work with the old profile.

You’ll notice that on the new...
Translations
Beginning with the visual refresh that I hope to launch this weekend, I’ll be adding in hooks for the Facebook Translations app. This means that anyone will be able to start translating Flickr Photosets into other languages besides English.
It can get pretty complicated to code for translations, so there will only be a limited number of words available to translate at first.
Header
One of the things I really want to do with the visual refresh is to simplify navigation and make it more consistent. Originally, it was designed to mimic Facebook Photos as much as possible. This didn’t work out too well, partly because the Facebook design wasn’t very good, but mostly because Flickr is organized differently.
That being said, the design has to match Facebook in some...
Profile Tab
Probably the most received request right now is for a profile tab in the new profile. I already have a prototype working, but there is a major design decision that has to be made before it can be released: what exactly should go on the profile tab?
Should I take a more Facebook Photos-like approach and put photos/videos with you tagged in them and your photosets at the bottom?
Or should there be...
Hi Everyone!
I’ve set up this blog to provide more information on the development of Flickr Photosets. I’ll talk about decisions that come up in the process of writing the app (design and technical) and pretty much anything else relating to development.
Ok, let’s start with where the app currently stands. The new Facebook profile design has added a lot to my development plate and changed my...
