Building Easy Flickr – Step by Step

Monday, June 16th, 2008 at 1:18 pm

As several people asked how I did the easier Flickr interface, I wrote up some step-by-step instructions, analyzing the issues and then taking the API to work around them.

An easier interface to Flickr

Check out How to create an alternative Flickr interface – step by step.

This is one example where providing a good API can empower developers to remove barriers you might not be aware of for you. I hope to be able to show you more of those in the future.

The code examples are available and are licensed with BSD, so feel free to re-use them.
