Anyways, going through the list, the candidates either look over designed (and clearly serving other purposes), were licensed under some inconvenient terms or just with a low level of control over the features and content aggregation.

So I decided to give it a shot and see how really complicated is to code something like this with flex and here are the results: http://cosminaru.ro/photo/cosmin and http://cosminaru.ro/photo/alexandra.

It doesn’t have the smooth scroll and other fancy stuff but it gets the flickr sets and it displays their content – which is actually what I was looking for. Later maybe I can find some time to add some cool effects here and there, but for now is good enough. It also has support for linking directly to one of the images so you can do stuff like this.

The binary package can be found here. It works by editing the flickr-user.txt file with your flickr user id (not user name) which you can obtain from here: http://idgettr.com/.

I also want to publish the code but it needs some cleanup and some wtf’s removal first.
