The interactive circular timeline will show all media items by day. There will also be a tag cloud and I think downloading everything from the internet at every move will be very non-fluid. I looked for and discovered a cool app in the Flickr app garden: phpFlickrSynch, “a PHP application that reads the metadata of your photos stored on Flickr, stores them in a local MySQL database, and gives you an API to let you play with those metadata.” Exactly what I need! After some wrestling with keys, tokens and secrets I managed to install and download the first metadata. Today I made an example app which chooses a set of pictures based on the actual date the picture was taken (this is actually stored in the EXIF data) and shows the title and thumbnail of every photo.
