some years back, i made a piece of code / tutorial process for mirroring a screenshot folder on your desktop into a browseable website.

i've been maintaining mine for years, and it's been a really rewarding practice of being able to sort of.. autoblog my own trajectory through projects, see their development over time, share images without having to dig too deep into context, collect my browsing somewhere. a very casual self-hosted lens on my own time.

anyway, i FINALLY got back to it to add something that should have been there from the get-go: nested directories! so rather than just a big screenshot folder (optionally sorted into a couple of buckets) you can really delve and take advantage of all the nested qualities of the filesystem itself.

while it is still really just a screenshot/filesystem mirror, i suspect the added complexity could also see it used as a tiny puzzle game engine. it's a nice change and i'm happy i made the time for it.

Okay, this is kind of sparking a huge leap for me in thinking about some of my projects.

I have 30 gigs of MMORPG screenshots and use the open-source Digikam to tag everything locally, and I am always just flabbergasted about how to share something approaching that volume with people - It's all piecemeal across social media for now - but this tickles something and gives me some ideas for arranging it, so, thanks for sharing!
