Simple Photo Gallery is a tool that makes it super easy to turn your photos into a beautiful, fast, and mobile-friendly web gallery that tells a story.
I started building this out of frustration with how difficult it is to share vacation photos and pictures of our son with friends and family. There was no tool that let me create a shareable web gallery with a great mobile experience, the ability to add detailed descriptions, and no login required.
I launched the initial version 5 years ago as an open source project, and it got some traction (200+ ⭐ on GitHub). Today, we’re launching a more modern, much faster, and better-looking version that has both an open-source version you can self-host as well as subscription based hosted version.
