1. A computer-implemented method for providing a preview of a digital photo album, the method comprising: displaying, on a display of an electronic device, a plurality of graphical representations of a plurality of digital photo albums, each of the digital photo albums including plural content items that are ranked based on perceived user interest; detecting, on the electronic device, an input having an initial position associated with one of the displayed graphical representations of the plurality of digital photo albums; determining that the input corresponds to a slide action that is maintained for a first threshold distance; providing, in response to the determination, a preview of the digital photo album associated with the initial input position for display, wherein the preview comprises previews of a subset of the ranked plural content items included within the digital photo album that exceed a rank threshold, the subset previews having first sizes on the display; determining that the slide action is maintained for a second threshold distance, wherein the second threshold distance exceeds the first threshold distance; providing, in response to determining that the slide action is maintained for the second threshold distance, full views of the content items included in the preview, the full views having second sizes with greater physical dimensions than the first sizes of the corresponding previews; detecting, on the electronic device, a hover action that is maintained for a threshold period of time at a position associated with the content item of a first full view; and displaying, in response to the detection of the hover action, the content item of the first full view at a third size having greater physical dimensions than the second size of the first full view, wherein the displayed content item overlays the full views of the content items at the second sizes.
