Yet an other gallery app

Old school paper albums are not just a collection of time ordered photos, they are visuals and texts organised to tell a story, make you remember a moment in the past.

The goal of this app is to mimic a full photo album though image spacial organisation, text and hand drawings, giving you the tools to express and store your memories ("souvenirs" in french). With a touch of more modern items such as video and sound.

Well, at least trying to do it that way with my amateur android programming skills...

Album structure

Album are composed of several pages where you can include image or text blocs.

Images and text blocs are organised in tiles fully covering the page. You can pan/zoom each images and handwritten annotations over them. You can also manually resize the tiles for a more custom layout.
