A little while ago at LoopConf, Derek Springer wrote up some code samples and explanations to help kick start anyone wanting to use the WordPress Media Loader on the front-end of their site.
It’s a great little example, with a couple of caveats, basically saying “this isn’t a complete solution intended for production use, it’s a starting point”.
I think this would be especially handy for anyone building a custom dashboard or application on WordPress to be able to take advantage of the great JavaScript work that went into the Media Loader.
