Memories is a FOSS Google Photos alternative that you can self-host (it runs as a Nextcloud plugin). Website: https://ift.tt/2efCWDj GitHub: https://ift.tt/BrO596z Demo Server: https://ift.tt/xstMCXi (demo runs in San Francisco on a free-tier cloud vm) Memories has been built ground-up for high performance and is extremely fast when configured correctly. In our testing environment, it can load a timeline view with 100k photos in under 500ms, including query and rendering time! Some features to highlight: * A timeline similar to Google Photos where you can skip to any time in history instantly. * AI-based tagging that runs locally on your server, identifying and tagging people and objects. * Albums and external sharing. * Metadata editing support * A world map of your photos, supported both on mobile and the web * Did I mention it's extremely fast? Would love to hear feedback from the HN community! :)
