The amount of marketing on their pages is triggering my sus radar a bit.
Some kind of marketing is better than having some or no documentation what it even does.
~~To be fair though, calling an open-source project "product" is really weird and gives away how they see it. As long as it's free and the code is all there, the worst thing would be that the users have to migrate to a fork.~~
It is a paid service.
~~I'll give it a spin~~
Nevermind, this isn't self hosted. There is no way i upload all my pictures to anyone else, encrypted or not.
If anyone cares about a self-hosted solution: https://github.com/LibrePhotos/librephotos
It was a paid service and it still is a paid service. However, now that they open-sourced the server, you can self-host.
What are you talking about?

Also, this exact post, down to the word structure, shows up in these and similar communities every once in a while. I'm convinced this is a dark pattern marketing scheme - pretending to be a good faith user in these communities while secretly pushing this app as the prime directive.
This is probably the third or fourth time I'm seeing this post.
