Scattr is a simple Flickr viewing gadget that you can embed into your site quickly and easily without any knowledge of Flash, actionscript code or any other mumbo jumbo. Just edit a simple text file, upload and you’re done. Use it for your own photos, a community website, conferences, gigs, a wedding album, birthdays or anything else you can think of.
Scattr is all about simplicity and that’s why it has zero interface clutter. There are no back buttons, next arrows or loading bars. The only interface you see are the photos themselves. Click a photo and it enlarges. Click the background to see all the photos again. You can also click the large photo to link through to the actual photo on Flickr. Scattr is meant to be quick, intuitive and fun, allowing people to concentrate on the content, not the interface.
- Set your own background image - jpeg, png or even another Flash movie!
- View a specific photoset on Flickr - great for showing specific events
- Pull in photos with certain tags - either from your own Flickr account or all public photos
- Slideshow mode - get Scattr to advance through your photos one by one automatically when it first appears
- Choose from 2 different frame styles and set your own frame width
- Set your own background colour and border width - or have no border at all
- Scattr can be any width and height - photos are automatically spread across the entire area
- Motion styles - choose regular or add a bit of elasticity or bounce!
- Depth of field - turn the depth of field setting on and the background together with the unselected photos will be blurred out
- Define your own large image size - Scattr will automatically pull in the correct size photo dependent on how big you set the scale
- Scattr is super small - less than 35k in file size
- No coding required - just edit a simple text file and you’re all set
- Example html files included - you’ll be up and running in seconds
Scattr costs $9.99 which also includes free future upgrades.
A free version of Scattr, called ScattrLite is also available. ScattrLite simply shows 10 photos from your Flickr account and does not come with any of the custom settings detailed above.
