I am embarking upon a similar project: I’m building a privacy-focused product similar to Google Photos and Flickr. My goal is to not only to develop a usable product, but also to document the process in as much detail as possible in order to enable others to build similar things.

I feel strongly about spreading the skills required to build non-trivial products. I hope to enable others to deliver similar technical projects.

Have you seen Perkeep? https://perkeep.org/ Mainly build by Brad Fitzpatrick, in Go.

Unfortunately I have not. I should do better at researching prior art. This is something I’ve wanted to do for a while, but never managed to carve out enough time. It’s great that there’s an open source project that I can simply use.
