A feature-rich iOS photo gallery library with tagging, commenting, and social features, built using the State Pattern for easy customization.
EBPhotoPages is an open-source iOS library for building full-featured photo galleries with social capabilities like tagging, commenting, and sharing. It solves the complexity of implementing a rich photo browser by providing a ready-to-use component with a customizable state-based architecture. Developers can integrate it to create Facebook-like photo browsing experiences in their apps.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Uses the State Pattern to allow easy addition of new behaviors without deep code modifications, as emphasized in the project's philosophy.
Built-in support for photo tagging, commenting, and sharing with per-photo user permissions controlled through delegate protocols.
Employs NSOperationQueue to load photos and content in the background, ensuring a smooth and responsive user experience.
Icons are drawn in code with no graphic files required, and the EBPhotoPagesFactory class enables straightforward theming and UI customization.
The README lists multiple unresolved issues, including buggy photo deletion, broken tag editing, and UI glitches after certain actions.
Key social features like 'likes' and comment pagination are absent, requiring custom implementation for full functionality.
Adding new states or modifying behavior requires subclassing and overriding methods, which can be complex compared to configuration-based alternatives.
Caching is delegated to the datasource, forcing developers to implement their own caching solutions for optimal performance.
