Originally created by @jbaez on GitHub (May 7, 2022).

Albums are a great way of organizing photos. This could be implemented like in Google photos:

  • when viewing a single photo, add option to "add to album" (can be added to a shared album or "normal" album)
  • when viewing a single photo from inside an album, add option to "Remove from album"
  • from inside an album, add option to add photos (exactly like in the current "shared album")
  • from inside an album, add option to share album (convert it into shared album)
  • from inside an album, add option to remove album

Having photos in albums also makes it easier for a "export albums" feature (that could be implemented in the future) that would export photos using the albums as folders.

I like this idea. Let me see how to refactor the shared albums feature to implement this one

@alextran1502 I was just looking into the code, if you want I can do the refactor and do a PR. It seems straightforward. The DB looks fine (although the tables could be renamed). Mostly just needs renaming "sharing" into "album" and changing the API.
I think the /shared/... API can just become /album/:id/...
What do you think?

OK cool. I'll do the backend and update the mobile app to use the "new" API first 😃

The API should be now ready #155 . This would need design and implementation in mobile and Web

Any update on this feature?

It seems to only be missing the UI implementation, and it's the main missing feature preventing me from testing the app more thoroughly.

Edit: I just saw the web album issue with its tasks, so the question is more for the mobile version I guess.

@Eidenz Album and shared album is being work on in #342 for the web. Once that is done, I will circle back and implement album only feature on the mobile app
