Description
Another feature for `ark-cli serve` can be functioning as Web-based photo-album, meaning that user could browse photos, videos and other resources from browser on remote device. The presentation of the resources must be similar to [ARK Navigator](https://github.com/ARK-Builders/ARK-Navigator), but only "read-only" mode is needed for the start. Later, we could add mutable operations like setting tags as well, but we would need to implement authentication for this.
In read-only mode, any visitor of the web page should see all resources from roots specified during the start-up. Visitors also should have access to tags and other ARK features stored in the roots. At the same time, low-level details like storage paths and resource ids should be, probably, hidden to prevent hacking opportunities.
Essentially, this feature would allow to host online public photo-album for anybody requiring only basic DevOps skills like [Syncthing](https://syncthing.net/) and `ark-cli` installation. The album would be connected to all devices providing the content — you shoot a photo and it uploads to the server immediately. There should be privacy settings as well, like publishing only certain tags or requiring PIN-code for some resources.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the `ark-cli serve` entry point and review ARK Navigator for the intended resource presentation. Define the read-only scope, including browsing resources and tags while hiding storage paths and resource IDs; privacy settings and PIN-protected resources are also requested but need further design.
