This app crashes my browser using Chrome/Firefox.
Alot of this applications are just so resource intensive and I don’t see alot of non developers pc’s/laptops coping well.
Sorry about that, Frank. I’ll try to see if there is anything I can do to optimise the app. Did it crash when you click on something on the map?
Am I missing something, or are there no links back to the images in Flickr? (I thought this was required by the Flickr API terms). I want to be able to see descriptions, collections references etc.
Hi wragge, You’re right. Thank you for pointing it out. I’ll add the link back to Flickr on enlarged version.
Just wanted to let you know that I’ve added a description tab on map view and a link back to Flickr (when you click on the enlarged version). Thank you for your feedback.
