I’ve been tinkering on something adjacent, to replace my Instagram usage rather than Photos.app. I was thinking of a sort of “album as a blog post” concept using Ghost, which could be a single image per entry, or a series of images with optional prose interspersed. The idea is to take an album and auto-generate a blog entry with inline photos that can be edited in Ghost. It can also pull out photo metadata and create a map, etc.

Unfortunately Ghost isn’t as modular as I hoped so it is involving lots of edits to the source, and automatically extracting album metadata from Photos.app has also turned out to be difficult.

Hey Mnutt,

My passion project, Odyssey, accomplishes something similar to what you're describing here.

With Odyssey, you can create stories that combine videos, photos, text, and drawings all on a digital canvas.

If you're interested, I encourage you to sign up for the closed beta. I'd love to get your feedback :)
