Description

Hello,
I don't know if you already have this implementation in mind or not, but I would really like to be able to organize the photos with album so that i can maintain the date folder structure which is very handy, while alse being able to organize them by topic, location or whatever (with the advantage of having the same photo in multiple album without having to duplicate them).
It is also very useful to share groups of photo with oter NC users with the collaborative album.
All those features have just been introduced in Photos 2.0, and I don't know if it is possible to interact with this app externally to fetch/add/edit/remove albums.
I'm not expert in swift programming, but if someone can address me on where i could start to implement this (What other similar functionality I can get inspiration from).

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the iOS app could interact with Photos 2.0, then look for similar existing functionality and determine the scope for fetching, adding, editing, removing, and sharing albums. Done means albums organize existing photos without duplication and support the requested collaborative behavior.
