#12I noticed on one of the screenshots there are buttons labelled "When in Rome" and "Christmas 2019". What do the labels reference? Are you using tags added from the photos metadata? Thanks!

#13What are your plans for when your app is found to host content such as terrorist executions, child porn, etc.? (This isn't trolling, it's something that eventually happens with every product, and I've been wanting a non-Google version myself but wondering how that kind of abuse would be dealt with.)

#14Awesome work. Although the price is 5x of google’s, the privacy is worth it.
Is there a family plan? We currently have 200gb google photos plan with my wife, but to migrate we have to take 1000gb plan (which we fill maybe in 8 years at current pace of adding content). Maybe something in between 100gb and 1000gb would find it’s audience.

#15This looks very good and the pricing plans are reasonable. However I want something locally hosted. I will pay to buy the software and run it on my own equipment. I really don't want to keep paying a subscription perpetually in order to store my photos.

#16Kudos on your launch! I just had a question: the pricing plans seem slightly pricey, is it to break even before bringing prices down, or is it due to expensive storage? If the latter, is there a self-hosted option? Also, the website looks absolutely great!
Have been hoping for something like this for probably a decade – and your product looks great.
Also have a question about the pricing. I’m happy to pay at the current tiers, especially to help getting y’all bootstrapped. But I’m curious if reducing the pricing will be an objective for you as you scale? I’m not sure I see myself maintaining the current expense indefinitely or it making it easy to recommend to less technical friends/family.

#17Looks great - congratulations! Could you please add if / how you store a hash of the user password of authentication - it‘s not discussed on the architecture page. Thank you.

The answer to this question is why the only solution in the long run is local storage.

Those are manually created album names. We don't have automatic clustering enabled yet. But it is in the pipeline and we hope to ship it later this year.
