This is so smooth. Wow. It's been a while since I saw something labelled as "stunning" actually stun me. The ability to tag photos and a commenting system would make it just perfect. Maybe an RSS feed for photos and comments, too?

Tags and RSS feeds for albums are already planned.

For years and years, I used Gallery/Gallery2 to self-host photos, but more and more, I found myself taking photos with my phone instead of a regular camera. From the smartphone, it was much easier to upload to Facebook (and now, G+) than it was to get photos into Gallery. Once every so often, I would bother connecting my phone to my computer, sync the photos over, and then upload them into Gallery. But by then, they…

I automated synchronization of the photos folder on my phone with my desktop computer whenever I'm at home. Removes one tedious step in the process at least. You could probably automate other steps as well.

Used FolderSync Lite[1] for Android. Syncs via ssh to my desktop (linux) every hour, but only when on the home wi-fi. I also sync deletions so moving them from the folder on the desktop removes them from the phone as well.

I developed this project in my spare time. It's a self-hosted photo-management-system and a great place to share, store and manage your photos and inspiration. I hope you guys here on HN like it. If you have any questions or feedback, just write it here :) Thanks!

Private albums with a random access token in the url would be awesome (instead of passwords). On a side note, I'd donate 100 bucks for a Lightroom Sync Plugin any minute.

Based on playing with the demo, I'd move to this in a heartbeat if there was a Lightroom sync plugin. (and would donate!)
