Back in 2012 I made a series of blog posts about all the unique image algorithms I could find:

- Facebook (that I designed): https://blog.vjeux.com/2012/image/image-layout-algorithm-fac...

- Google Plus: https://blog.vjeux.com/2012/javascript/image-layout-algorith...

- Google Plus, finding best breaks, which also explains fancy text layout algorithm: https://blog.vjeux.com/2014/image/google-plus-layout-find-be...

- Lightbox: https://blog.vjeux.com/2012/javascript/image-layout-algorith...

- Lightbox Android: https://blog.vjeux.com/2012/javascript/image-layout-algorith...

I hope that’s useful!

Very interesting, thank you for this! Just a note that your demos do not seem to load images.
