I give a way to add a photo wall page in my blog (in Chinese). Maybe it will help you.

You can create a photowall page easily using grouppicture tag. And you can create an album page using iframs.

This sounds like a very cool feature. If exif.js can be used to display the parameters of each photo, it will be very useful for photographers.

Superseded by theme-next/hexo-theme-next#1253

@gapplef Maybe you can open an issue here: https://github.com/hexojs/hexo/issues/new/choose
Hexo has a lot of plugins, e.g. hexo-generator-archive, hexo-generator-tag
What you need is actually a hexo-generator-album plugin

Done hexojs/hexo#3907
Let's see the response of hexo.

[gapplef]

@stevenjoezhang Hexo developer think this feature should implement by theme.
I'm not familiar with web dev, could you explained why this should be done by hexo not theme in hexojs/hexo#3907

[stevenjoezhang]

I'm not familiar with web dev

Neither do I.

As you mentioned in theme-next/hexo-theme-next#1253 (comment)

• 博文中发布的图片可能只是引用的外部链接，并没有存在images下；
• 图片所在博文的发布时间和图片的最终修改时间可能并不一致，如何建立时间线；
• 是否有可能将图片关联到发布图片的博文，类似微博图片墙的做法；

Maybe you should find the answers to these questions first. I believe your suggestion is a good idea, but it is indeed beyond our ability. That's why I suggest you ask Hexo for help.
