Nice project. I like the approach of using static generation instead of building a full backend for something that’s mostly read-only.

Did you find any challenges handling large numbers of photos when generating the indexes?

No real challenges. I made the Go `photogen` tool run in parallel using goroutines (e.g., 3-6 depending on your CPU). It's pretty fast at churning through hundreds of photos.
