Flickriver: Civilized Explorer's photosets

About Flickriver

Flickriver is an new way to explore and view Flickr photographs.

It's a personal project of Alex Sirota (aka iosart).

Flickriver enhances your photo browsing experience in several ways:

River of photos - the photographs are always displayed as one continuous stream - you can view thousands of photos without ever needing to hit 'next' and waiting for the next page to load! This is also known as "infinite scroll". Check out my most interesting photos for an example
Large images - size really matters when you truly want to appreciate the beauty of photography
Black background - most photographs just look better on black - won't you agree?
User most interesting photos - see other people's photos ordered by interestingness
Most interesting Pool photos - see photos in any Pool ordered by interestingness
Random order view - explore any user's or group's photos in random order
Photos of user's contacts - see recent photos from contacts of any user
Keyboard navigation - you can press j/k to go to next/previous photo. Hitting space also allows quickly jumping to the next photo. v opens the original Flickr page for the currently visible photo

Beyond the features above, Flickriver has many additional Flickr photo views - user recent photos, favorites, sets, user and everyone's photos by tag, everyone's most interesting and recent photos, group and pool photos and more. Also, Flickriver follows the Flickr URL structure as much as possible, so you can easily go back and forth between the two.

Important: Flickriver uses the Flickr API but is not endorsed or certified by Flickr.
