I hadn't seen that article from the google photos front end dev. really cool read!
This seems pretty old, but curious if this is what you're going for? i also saw the issue regarding Flickr open sourcing their justified algorithm. I'm sure you're busy and this isn't an issue to actually be solved, but curious what your thoughts are on direction there and if making the interface more google photos-esque is where you're heading?

Hi @cnelson-pdx. There is a lot I want to do to make the timeline more useful. This is a rough order of priorities for timeline:

1. Scrollbar showing month/date overlay so you can quickly get to a point in time
2. Smart loading of thumbnails around current viewport and freeing memory
3. Option for turning on justified layout like Flickr

Aside from thumbnails there is a lot more to do to refine the UI. You will see some of this in the next couple of weeks. I don't aim to specifically like Google photos but there will an emphasis on search other UX patterns that we like.
