50mm | A Simple-to-use Image Gallery Web App in Go

http://github.com/agile-leaf/50mm
50mm是我在找不到任何符合我要求的照片库时制作的web应用程序. I wanted something that would work without a database, use an S3 backed image storage, and use the Imgix real-time image processing service to optimize the images displayed.

Not finding anything that fit the bill, I created 50mm in Golang. It uses the built-in HTTP server and Golang HTML templating. It integrates with S3 for the storage and uses Imgix for on-the-fly image processing.

In addition to powering my own gallery of photos, 据我所知，现在至少有另外两个人用它来展示他们自己的图像收藏.
