Applejuice is a free web-based photo gallery. Its user interface is simple and uncluttered, to give your photos center stage.

Applejuice galleries can be created directly from Picasa, or by hand.

Here's a sample gallery, created with Picasa.

Download Applejuice 1.0 beta 2. (Nov 14 2006)

Or download the version that includes full source code.

New in this version: see my blog.

This is a beta! The user interface isn't quite done, and there are probably a couple of important features missing. Release early and often, right? Feedback and suggestions are welcome via email or blog comments.

• Plugs directly into Picasa
• Keyboard controls (arrow keys, home/end, enter to start/stop slideshows)
• "Link to this photo" copies a URL to the clipboard; this URL launches Applejuice on the current photo
• Right-click menu
• UI adjusts dynamically to browser window size
• Prioritized image loading (thumbs load in the background)
• Image pre-fetching
• Free!
• Source code available! (well, soon)

Applejuice was written using OpenLaszlo.

Here's a blog entry explaining how Applejuice came to be.

I'll post about updates in my blog.
