Link is a 1h42m video interview between Louis Rossmann, FUTO and Immich developers with a introduction to Immich by Louis.

Immich is an open source self-hosted in-development tool to manage image libraries from a central server, and sync/distribute them across your devices, as an alternative to Google Photos. Also see: https://immich.app

The important news here is that FUTO has funded full time development on Immich for 3 years.

I love Immich and we used it for a long time but we eventually switched to Ente Photos simply because Immich's upload on iOS isn't really working and it took hours for some members in my family to sync 200 pictures that are being synced within a few minutes on Android. That was frustrating.

With Ente Photos that's working fine so we decided to make the switch.

Yeah. Hopefully this grant can give Immich the TLC it needs to address its current shortcomings.

Agree. At least they already know about this and told they want to address it in the future.

2TB is the most space they offer? And at $20/month?

Pass.

I’ve already got the storage I need.

Edit: apparently you can self host (see below)

You can self host Ente. That's what I'm doing. Basically 40 TB currently on my own server for me and my family for free (besides hardware, time and of course electricity).
