"Once I began to create the metadata I already knew what I wanted to do: create my own streaming platform for our family’s memories."

Immich has become a bit of this for me, my father digitized everything he has, he gave it to me and I dumped it in Immich and spend some time dating stuff. So now I can, with the slide of the finger, drop myself in 1983 and see my own first steps, no audio, video8 quality, still quite magical.

Perhaps normal for all you iCloud and Google Photos fans, but I never wanted that, for me everything was just in folders on harddrives, have been waiting for Immich my whole life I guess ;)

Immich is great, after doing this project I installed it for our current family photos and it works well, although I keep hitting a bug where older photos are blurred and never load. I need to investigate that.
Google Picasa used to be like that before obviously Google had to kill it and create a surveillance version.
Immich is a worthy successor.
