I’m working on a privacy-focused photo backup concept. Instead of syncing to cloud services like iCloud or Google, the idea is to let you back up photos directly to your own: PC or laptop HDD or NAS Private cloud or VPS It will use a secure peer-to-peer approach (similar to Tailscale) so your data stays in your control. I’m still validating the idea — would love feedback! If you're interested, join the waitlist: https://myphoto-vault.netlify.app

I was frustrated with photo sharing sites. Apple's iCloud shared albums take 20+ seconds to load, and everything else comes with ads, cumbersome UIs, or social media distractions. I just want to share photos with friends and family: fast, mobile-friendly, distraction-free. So I built DD Photos. You export photos from whatever you already use (Lightroom, Apple Photos, etc.) into folders, run `photogen` (a Go CLI) to resize them to WebP and generate JSON indexes, then deploy the SvelteKit static site anywhere that serves files. Apache, S3, whatever. No server-side code, no database. Built over…

Yogile▲75I've been running Yogile for years because I got tired of sharing photo albums where half the family never managed to log in. With Yogile, anyone can open an album, upload photos or videos, and view everything directly from the link. Even grandma usually manages. A few things people seem to like: - No accounts required for viewing or uploading. - Unlimited photo storage for a low yearly subscription. - Hosted and operated entirely in the EU. - Original files are kept and can be downloaded at full quality. Most people use it for family albums, weddings, sports clubs, photographers, and other…

Hey HN, I built a tiny offline tool to help back up iPhone/iPad photos and videos to PC or Mac via USB. No iCloud, no accounts, no cloud storage — just straight device-to-device transfer. Originally made it for someone close to me who had tens of thousands of photos but didn't want to deal with subscriptions or cloud storage. Thought it might be useful for others too, so putting it out there. It keeps Live Photos, 4K videos, RAW files, and transfers quickly without compression. Works on both Windows and macOS. Site (simple landing page):…
