Faridani Rad developed and modernized the LibrePhotos/librephotos-frontend over 13 months, delivering features such as public album sharing, map-based photo location updates, and a unified organizing page for stacks and duplicates. He migrated data fetching to TanStack Query, removed Redux, and refactored routing with TanStack Router, improving performance and maintainability. Using React and TypeScript, he enhanced UI consistency, accessibility, and localization, while integrating MapLibre-GL for map rendering and implementing robust API clients. His work addressed cache invalidation, data integrity, and end-to-end testing, resulting in a scalable, reliable frontend that streamlines photo management and supports efficient future development.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026: Delivered end-to-end public sharing and data loading improvements for the LibrePhotos frontend, alongside a major upgrade to the photo download UX. Public album sharing is now configurable by album with per-album visibility, public viewing in the lightbox, and routing to public views, complemented by UI polish and i18n translations. Public page data loading was stabilized by introducing authentication skip for public queries, enabling public photo detail fetches and disabling unnecessary worker queries to avoid 401s. A new download flow supports user-id aware mutations and stacked photo downloads via a modal options panel, enhancing security and flexibility.
