Hi,  
Loupe is an image gallery application that syncs with your flickr  
photostream. So far you can display tags, sets and your photostream  
via this application. It also supports tag based search of your  
photostream.

To get the application go to : [labs.enygmatic.com/node/2](http://labs.enygmatic.com/node/2)  
For a live demo go to : [photos.enygmatic.com](http://photos.enygmatic.com)

Loupe is written using Rails and the rflickr wrapper for the flickr  
API.

Let me know what you think of this application.

Regards,

This looks great! But how do I use it in my application? Any tutorials  
or articles regarding the same?
