I did a Facebook photo browser too, just two weeks ago. Zach's is definitely much more polished and professional, but here are some features of mine.

- It's single page app. All Ajax, no page reloads. HIstory supported.

- Slightly more photos(users wall)

- source is on Github: https://github.com/nambrot/Facebook-Photo-Browser

- accompanied by a blog post on architecture: http://nambrot.com/blog/4

The demo runs here: http://fbphotobrowser.herokuapp.com/ Deployed on Heroku, backend Node.js, frontend: Backbone

Feedback is appreciated

pretty cool, i'll probably do some ajaxy page transitions at some point.. just hacked this together. Friendsheet is all html / JS.. hosted 100% on S3

Looks really good, and it's a very nice way to view the photos. I like that you also implemented a way to like and comment on the photos. Very engaging and fun.

I also like the design a lot.

Doesn't Facebook have a policy against "alternative ways to view Facebook" type applications? Didn't I see a conversation on HN the other day about a guy who got blacklisted for life for making an ads free version of Facebook or something like that?

Anyways, good job

thanks! definitely inspired by fb, but with some streamlined tweaks.

I don't think facebook policy directly states that, it's more about not misleading users into thinking something is made by facebook. And definitely anything that circumvents ads is against policy.

Can someone educated me why this is so "awesome"?

the first problem I've found is that it has no indication or hint how to navigate prev/next in zoomed in mode.

right left arrows... and soon swipe on ipad

I'll definitely add a tutorial / help section for ya

Zach did it again. Love the UI, so much faster to use than the Facebook newsfeed!

Looks really nice. Looks inspired by Pinterest I guess..

yes, pinterest combined with timeline

Screenshots?

I don't have a Facebook account..

Looks sweet! Bookmarked.

Love it.

looks really cool!
