Hi Mack! Thanks for the project!

However, there are some unmentioned points (or easily missed when reading the official docs) to get the app up and running. So I would suggest mention the following:

  1. enable Photos Library API in Google Cloud console.
  2. in OAuth client configuration, add http://localhost/auth/google/callback to "Authorized redirect URIs"
  3. in OAuth consent screen settings, add your Gmail to test users.

Also worth mentioning is the required version of npm for the Chrome extension. Apparently I had too old one installed

I forgot about enabling the Photos API and creating the Google Cloud project. I'll go through that and add the steps, thanks!

@Randl will also add a target node version on the package.json - thanks
