It's been a long time since I've done a full day marathon coding session, but I am nearly done with a tool that will archive your entire Flickr account as a static website that you can browse entirely offline!

Downloading my 124gb of Flickr data now...

  We're never closing it down. In fact, we even recently launched a foundation dedicated to preserving the content on Flickr for generations to come - flickr.org

  I assume if/when they close it down they’ll have some sort of fee to download everything.

  Yeah totally. And i've been paying for Flickr Pro the last few years pretty much exclusively so that I can at some point get to the full archive of original photos too. So I decided that time has finally come.

  I have been paying for Flickr pro since 2007 but the price increase is just too much. Thanks to Aaron I hopefully won’t have to renew again

  Omg I was seriously just wondering about this. I life in fear that flickr will die and my entire @BikePortland archive will be lost. 😯
