Matt, I am so impressed by how far this has come. WRT naming, what about "Journey".
OTOH, I always thought just simplifying to "Timeline" was the obvious move?

#112This looks really cool and like something I've been subconsciously looking for! A couple thoughts & ideas: - Given the sensitivity of the data, I would be rather scared to self-host this, unless it's a machine at home, behind a Wireguard/Tailscale setup. I would love to see this as an E2E-encrypted application, similarly to Ente.io. - Could index and storage backend be decoupled, so that I can host my photos etc. els…
I’m not sure how exactly timelinize stores photos, but you could sync photos as you take them to timelinize, and then, if they are accessible, point immich to the timelinize photos for its use. That would essentially deduplicate your photos.

#113Is it open source?

#114Thank you so much for this! I've also had the idea but, contrary to you, never had the courage nor energy to actually do it. I have some of my old devices backed up with the very first text my (now) wife and I exchanged, and this feels like the perfect use case.
So thank you so much, I now have another project to host on my home server, and a meaningful one.
>(PS. I'm open to changing the name. Never really liked this one...)
Timelinize is great, it explains what the product does

#115> Recommended: GPU (NVIDIA 20-series or newer; 40-series for faster thumbnails) or Apple Silicon (M2 or newer)
Very nice project, it is something what we all need right now in these days. Just noticed that you recommend Apple Silicon M2 or newer? Is there really a significant difference between M1 and M2? Is it running some LLM model in the background?

#116This basically brings your data from the cloud to local-first ! Kudos to your dedication and especially making this open-source for the benefit of everyone!

#117Great idea! Do you plan to integrate with other services? I'm looking for similar solutions to collect feedback and improve my product. Are you already getting feedback from the community?

#118This is really cool! I’ve always wanted to do something similar, but didn’t want to invest the time, so thanks for seeing this through!

#119This is great. I want this but for much more. I want it to also be a nextcloud and zotero replacement, storing all my documents and books and documenting when I added, opened, edited them. I want it to store all notes that I write. I want it to record and display all browser tabs I open, when I do so, everything I copy and paste, every key I press. I want a record of everything I do in the digital world that is searc…
I can never find it now, but someone had an idea for a computing system which was purely temporal for every object and then you'd only access outside of temporal by filter. I wish I could find it again.
Might you be thinking of Lifestreams by Freeman and Gelernter?
