Minimal Gallery is a configurable group-based app that allows you create a simple, card-based gallery. It is designed to be used as a standalone gallery, or can be embedded in a web page. The Minimal Gallery presents a collection of maps, scenes, and apps as cards in a clean and simple design. The cards can be configured to display a variety of information in different ways.
