I made Fastback Photo Gallery for my family and wanted to share.

We have 200,000+ family photos (including scans of parent's and grandparent's photos and slides) and needed a good way to easily enjoy them.

Fastback sorts all the photos it finds by date and lets you scroll through them. A couple of key features:

  * "Rewind" button to show media taken on today's date in previous years
  * Date picker to jump to a specific date
  * Map which can either show where photos were taken or be used as a filter itself so that only photos in the map area are visible. 
  * Filter by tags - if you have been tagging photos with faces or other data, you can filter by the tags

It's old school PHP and JavaScript. It uses ffmpeg to make streamable versions of the videos and either vipsthumbnail, ImageMagick or GD to make image thumbnails.

I would love feedback. Documentation issues, installation problems, suggestions, feature requests, etc.
