The feature

General Description

As a user, I would like to share some of my albums and photos with anonymous users on a public page. Instead of creating multiple shared links for an anonymous user, I can simply mark albums or photos as public. Anonymous users can then explore these public albums on a dedicated page (e.g., /public/<userId> or /wall/<userId>).

The Public Wall acts as a personalized public feed for a user, enabling anyone to explore albums and photos marked as public.

Workflow

As a Signed-In User:

1. Enable the 'Public Wall' feature in user settings, with the ability to configure:

• Allow anonymous users to download albums/photos.
• Enable password protection for public albums.

2. Navigate to any album.
3. Select 'Publish to Wall' from the album’s menu.

As an Anonymous User:

1. I can visit the public wall of any user by navigating to:
   https://domain/wall/<userId or username>.
2. If an album is password-protected, I am prompted to enter a password before accessing it.
3. If downloading is enabled, I can:

• Download a specific album.
• Bulk-download multiple albums/photos.

4. I can customize my experience by:

• Changing the view (e.g., grid, list) for how albums/photos are displayed.
• Searching for albums/photos using a search bar.

Details: Public Page (Public Wall)

• Albums are grouped by year by default, similar to the current album view in the user interface.
• Display options:
  • Grid view for albums/photos.
  • Filters (e.g., by year or tags).
• Supports search functionality to quickly locate specific albums/photos.

Why This Feature is Valuable

• Reduces the need to create multiple shared links for individual albums/photos.
• Provides anonymous users with a centralized, easy-to-navigate page for exploring public albums/photos.
• Enables users to create a "portfolio" or "gallery" for showcasing public content.
