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…

Hey HN! My friend and I love taking pictures on our phones, and we were looking for a super simple way to share them with the world. Google Photos albums are nice, but the result isn't slick enough and lacks customization options (embed, custom domain). That's why we built myphotos.site - a micro SaaS that allows anyone to create a slick, minimal gallery website from Google Photos. Galleries can be iframe-embedded for those looking for full customization. One thing we haven't solved yet - many Google Photos users (myself included) do not have images pre-organized in albums, so the fact that…

Recently I've been playing with an idea of a file server on my Android phone, with a web browser access. I wanted to replace: - AirDroid - sending files to my own PC or laptop. - ShareIt - sending big files over the local network to my family devices. - Dropbox - sharing select files with other people over the Internet. Requirements I had in mind: - end-to-end encryption, no sign ups, no accounts, no passwords - local connection if devices are on the same network - asynchronous access, server should work seamlessly in the background This week I finally managed to stitch the pieces together…

Hey HN! I built this free and open-source tool out of frustration with how difficult it is to share vacation photos and pictures of our kids with friends and family. There is no tool that lets me create a shareable web gallery with a great mobile experience, the ability to add detailed descriptions, and no login required. The CLI tool scans a folder and all sub-folders for photos and videos, generates thumbnails optimized for speed and finally creates a static web site to showcase the photos and tell their story. As the gallery is static, you can easily self-host it on any static hosting…
