If one day. a hack org control 50% of that blockchain. Is that means all photos will then exposed to hacked to blackmail?

@o1xhack No, your files are still encrypted heavily with a key that you own already.

No search and no automatic upload? You removed the best features of Google Photos! Great direction though. I've been looking for an alternative for months. Still, the automatic upload is a minimum for me, I'm afraid...

@raindropcatcher Thanks for your interest, Robin. We began as a secure base, and we plan to go from there and add features one by one. Your support and sharing your thoughts will help it a lot.

Awesome to read about a new Google Photos alternative!!, I'm actually using Nextcloud for such purpose as well and even though it great, it's not really designed for such thing. All the best with it!, I'm looking forward to see the option to install it locally in my server but in the meantime with such security, privacy and decentralized features, is more than enough for me

@bruno_p Thank you very much, Bruno, for your interest. 😎 You can install it actually, it is completely open and client-side. Please contact us from the email so we can guide you.

I was trying to delete photos – which can only be done one at a time, a major pain in the ass, when the screen froze on one photo, displaying the icons over and over 6 or seven rows deep. I refreshed the page in my browser, and POOF! – everything gone, not even any trace of a deleted photo in the bin. Hadn't occurred to me that in October 2020 I'd be an unwitting beta tester. What a disaster this app is!

I can't access the website :( I'm getting a GitLab error (404 - Doesn't exist or you don't have permission). Am I the only one?
