Hello.

I came across this [static photo album](https://github.com/dougdonohoe/ddphotos) project on HN, and I wanted to do something similar for my site (without all these dependencies he has) . I am curious if there are existing zola websites yall can point me at so I can figure out how to make that.

Examples I found have list a list of thumbnail in a page and clocking on them opens the full size image but that’s not ideal.

The pattern you describe is a fairly standard way of handling photos: thumbnails then tap/click to view a larger version. If this isn’t ideal, what sort of thing are you looking for?

Something that would not navigate away from the album’s page, and has right and left arrows like the link I sent.

I showcase this with photoswipe dependency in my “seagull” theme: [Seagull | Gallery](https://seagull.coinduf.eu/gallery/).
