What it does
Apple and Google make it easy to upload your photos — and painful to get them back. Capped downloads, stripped metadata, broken exports. Just enough friction that paying $14.99/month feels easier than leaving. privcloud runs a full photo server on your machine with one command. Face recognition, smart search, duplicate detection, albums — all local. Built-in Google Photos migration fixes their broken metadata export. Phone apps auto-backup over WiFi. No cloud. Your photos stay on your drive.
Self-hosted home server — photo backup, music streaming, file management, monitoring, remote access. Two tools: federver (server setup) + privcloud (Immich management). - hamr0/privcloud

A photo backup idea – to your own storage, not iCloud/Google2025 · myphoto-vault.netlify.app · ▲9I’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

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
