I was about to build a 500px clone for a personal project and found photographer.io. It covers most of my needs but when looking at the source, a few questions poped up:
1- why using memcached for caching instead of redis since it is already installed, as fast and more flexible?
2- why using an older version of the Foundation framework?
3- why did you pick Dragonfly instead of the much more popular Carrierwave?
4- Are there any sites with "real" traffic using photographer.io?
5- Any plans to expand the documentation in a wiki maybe, some of the stuff is not intuitive, like Photograph#ghost.
I dont mind spending a day a week working on this, since it would be more productive than starting my own project from the ground up. I just want to understand the various technological choices.
As I am looking at the code, I am sure more questions will come up, but this is a start.
