@prologic Cool, but still not really what I'm going for. I would like to have a timeline view of only images, not a grid within each post, though that is a nice too:)
Couldn’t you create a feed now on a Yarn pod and post nothing but images?

I got it working i a very hacky way on: https://darch.dk/twtxt/gallery.php when i just scrape a folder for images to render the gallery grid and link back to the post by using a prefixed date i added to the images to match with the posts date
@darch We’ll do something nice don’t worry 🤞

Just so I understand, you want a view that essentially goes through each twt and extracts images to have them viewed in their own gallery style without any text?
And speaking of which...
If we built such a view on user profiles...
Q: Should it display all images linked + posted in their feed regardless of where they came from?
Or:
Q: Should it only show all the images a user uploaded only?

As we are all speaking here on possibilities, I have zero interest in it. It reminds me of Yarn trying to be a blog engine, and an email server, and an instant messenger. Truly not interested. My $0.25. 😊
@ullarah yes excslly, but the text could be the alt text of watch images shown on hover. Clicking on an image will take you to the post it appeared in.
@prologic good question. I think the later would be most fair, but the first one might be a bit easier to implement. Also it should only be images from original posts, not images uploaded as part of replies.

if this is part of the requirement, this _really_ has to wait until built in search becomes available. This is basically "indexing"; is what you're talking about. Not just, "let's keep track of what media a user uploads and display that".

Why? Why would we make such a distinction between OP(s) and Replies here? 🤔 I _feel_ like this could go either way and like all things some folks would have a preference for one over the other. Again, see #xmred7 where I refer to the necessary for builtin indexing and searching. Without builtin search this is _rather_ tedious and hard to do.

@prologic well you are free to build what you like and using search/indexing as the backbone would definitely be a good option and then everyone can make their own setups as they like.
My Pixelblog project is just me trying to scratch my own itch. Nobody says yarn needs to do the same thing😊
@darch I’m just merely saying what is technically required to provide the functionality you’re after 👌
