Just a thought, but it might be possible to create a tumblr or tegaki diary clone in twtxt format. Illustrators upload their work to twitter and pixiv, but I think self-hosting has various advantages.
@hashrock You _could_ probably achieve this now by going to Feeds and create a new persona/feed for yourself that you do nothing but post your artwork to? π€

@prologic yeah actually. I think there is room for a dedicated Web UI for artwork
@hashrock How would it work? (Given what I said above)

I would have to create a new tool like yarn, but I guess it would be like creating a CMS that using twtxt format.
or just create a view that fetches twtxt from yarn and displays it like a portfolio.
@hashrock What if it were integrated into the yarnd UI as it is now or similar? π€ What would that look like? π€ What would we need to build? π€

@hashrock yes that is exactly my idea with pixelblog, and I'm up for working together on improving it or making it part of yarnd
one option is to make an extension for a CMS like yellow which i been using for years and I already talked with the devs about twtxt
@prologic It would be good to make a gallery view like darch is talking about. Also, it would be nice to be able to post images by pasting from the clipboard, although this is trivial.
@hashrock Is this something we can do with a custom profile view? Or a search view? π€

@prologic I think it will be a custom profile view
@hashrock Ahh I see π€ Can you mock one up so we get an idea? π€

I'm not sure but maybe like this.
I think @darch has a better idea of the layout of the portfolio.
At this point I'm thinking it would be better to render portfolios on an external server with yarn as the data source. I think it's still a small number of users who want portfolio functionality in yarn and they might want to customize their view.
@hashrock The fact that we can search and pull up media a Yarn user shares is probably all we need to pull this off whether it's a view on the βyarnd UI or a separate external app π

@hashrock you can already point pixelblog to an external twtxt.txt, but generating thumbnails does only work for local files.
And for mockup take a look at: https://darch.dk/pixelblog/gallery/
But it would be nice to have a more tumblr look with thumbnails in their propper aspect ration as in your mockup above.
@darch A square grid as you have shown seems to be a better UX. I also like the view after clicking on an image.
@prologic yeah, I guess it would be like simply filtering markdown image notation with regex?
@hashrock Pretty much... But I also think we can produce and give nice JSON responses for feeds / profiles and even searches π

@hashrock I have an ask of you then... Either:
a) You file appropriate Issues
or
b) You write something that _wants_ to use something like this, and work with me to "just build" it π
