Don't know if one has or not, but a lack of announcement is not a lack of success.

Sure it is. If you encounter something that’s not an int, that could be a signal you have a bug in your writers. Or in the source of the data. That’s useful information compared to…

Sure, but you lose the representation of the developer’s intention that way. I would be pretty pissed off if I inherited a project and the schema was all ANYs.

It’s a stated [0] goal of the project: > SQLite strives to be flexible regarding the datatype of the content that it stores. [0]: https://sqlite.org/stricttables.html

Just iCloud for now.

It's not about backing up. It's about non-technical family members being able to reliably recover the data.

Thanks for the great tool! Appreciate it. :)

I would love to self-host this stuff (using Immich, or Ente) but my family's bus factor is 1 and the risk of losing all the pictures really prevents me from taking this step. Sure,…

Love pico. It’s my default starting point for nearly every side project. Sometimes I will reach for Neat [0] which is a great deal smaller. [0]: https://neat.joeldare.com/

This is, I think, my favorite essay about building software. The style is charming (I can see why some might not like it) and the content is always relevant.
