This topic will track configuring the scrapbook.

Plugins:

Components:

  • Discourse Gifs - for gifs search in chat, really
  • Topic Cards - makes the site more bloggy, which matches the scrapbook idea

The theme is “Default” with a dark palette; the site looks like “lightbox” software with dark backgrounds to make the photos pop for the viewer.
