Gallery

Static photo gallery for logging meals and food memories.

The site is based on the HTML5 UP Lens template and currently ships as a plain static site: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and local image assets.

Repo Layout

• index.html: main gallery page
• assets/: site CSS, JavaScript, fonts, and audio
• images/fulls/: full-size gallery images
• images/thumbs/: gallery thumbnails
• data/meals.json: source of truth for gallery entries
• scripts/render-gallery.js: regenerates the gallery markup in index.html from data/meals.json

Content Workflow

Gallery entries now live in data/meals.json.

After editing that file, regenerate the static markup with:

node scripts/render-gallery.js

The script updates only the generated gallery block inside index.html.

Image Conventions

• Full-size images and thumbnails share the same numeric ID
• Full-size images live at images/fulls/<id>.jpg
• Thumbnails live at images/thumbs/<id>.jpg
• Optional thumbnail focal positioning is stored per entry as position

Planned Features

1. Better thumbnail implementation, either a small script to automatically convert full-size images into thumbnails and a build system, or another simpler approach.
2. Automatic image ingestion, potentially with a stronger data model if the static workflow becomes too limiting.
3. An Elo-style ranking page that shows two food images at a time and updates rankings automatically based on the selected winner.
4. General cleanup and history cleanup once the bigger structural changes are in place.
