Looks really good, and it's a very nice way to view the photos. I like that you also implemented a way to like and comment on the photos. Very engaging and fun.
I also like the design a lot.
Doesn't Facebook have a policy against "alternative ways to view Facebook" type applications? Didn't I see a conversation on HN the other day about a guy who got blacklisted for life for making an ads free version of Facebook or something like that?
thanks! definitely inspired by fb, but with some streamlined tweaks.
I don't think facebook policy directly states that, it's more about not misleading users into thinking something is made by facebook. And definitely anything that circumvents ads is against policy.

Anyways, good job

I don't have a Facebook account..
the first problem I've found is that it has no indication or hint how to navigate prev/next in zoomed in mode.
I'll definitely add a tutorial / help section for ya
I did a Facebook photo browser too, just two weeks ago. Zach's is definitely much more polished and professional, but here are some features of mine.
- It's single page app. All Ajax, no page reloads. HIstory supported.
- Slightly more photos(users wall)
- source is on Github: https://github.com/nambrot/Facebook-Photo-Browser
- accompanied by a blog post on architecture: http://nambrot.com/blog/4
The demo runs here: http://fbphotobrowser.herokuapp.com/ Deployed on Heroku, backend Node.js, frontend: Backbone
Feedback is appreciated
