Sorry for the delayed response, I missed this comment. If you're on Linux you can either use our web app[1] or our desktop app[2]. The latter is just the former wrapped in electron, but with the ability to sync uploaded files to your local disk drive.

Sorry, we don't have a sample gallery yet. :( We do have a local backup tool that will sync your uploaded files to a local folder: https://github.com/ente-io/bhari-frame/releases/latest

Our pricing model is such that the product can self sustain itself. Also, we have a desktop app[1] that syncs your uploaded data to a local drive, so you don't have to worry about a lock-in. But even if we do have to sunset the service due to unforeseeable reasons, our cold storage is relatively inexpensive and we will give our customers ample time to migrate out. Also, in such a scenario we would want to publish our entire system in an easily deployable way so that all our efforts would not be in vain.

> How does one migrate to this from Google photos? You can export your data from takeout.google.com, and drag and drop the output folder into web.ente.io. > How does one share across the family? Currently we don't have family plans yet. Existing customers are sharing the same account with their partners. This is on our roadmap and we will ship it soon. > Is it possible to have a local backup? Our desktop app[1] has an option to sync your uploaded data to a local disk drive. > categorizing, tagging, labelling, albums, comments/notes, geotags, stories. We already have albums and stories. All the other features you mentioned apart from "comments/notes" were already on our roadmap. I've just added "comments/notes" too to it[2]. > What's the pricing? https://ente.io/#pricing [1]: https://github.com/ente-io/bhari-frame/releases/latest [2]: http

Hello HN, Over the last year we've been building ente[1], a privacy-friendly, easy-to-use alternative to Google Photos. We've so far built Android[2][3], iOS[4], web[5] apps that encrypt your files and back them up in the background. You can access these across your devices, and share them with other ente users, end-to-end encrypted. You can also use our electron app[6] to maintain a local copy of your backed up files. We've built a fault-tolerant data replication layer that replicates your data to two different storage providers in the EU. We will be providing additional replicas as an addon in the future. We're relying on libsodium[7] for performing all cryptographic operations. Under the hood it uses XChaCha20 and XSalsa20 for encryption and Argon2 for key derivation. We have documented our architecture[8] and open-sourced our clients[

The API is public, but the documentation needs work. If your current use case is only to sync your uploaded files to a local folder, we have an Electron app that does just that: https://github.com/ente-io/bhari-frame/releases/tag/v1.0.3
