Photobox – Free Open Source Google Photos Clone • Hacker News Board

Unless Cloudinary is open-source (hadn't heard of it before, a quick browse of their site makes me think it isn't) then calling this a Free/Open Source project is somewhat questionable, since it leverages Cloudinary for a lot of what it does.

Happy to see any open source project, but this seems very basic. No search function that I could tell.

+1 for Immich, it's been cool watching their development journey on /r/selfhosted the last year or so:

Thought I heard the name before: https://www.photobox.co.uk/

Probably a good idea to change the name now... However, I'm always surprised people don't search for the name of their project before using it. Also, if common TLDs are already registered, I'd usually avoid using the name as well in case of future success and spoofing the domains.

Does anyone know of an offline photo manager with object detection search?

All I want is an app which I can point at a folder and then search for "cat" or whatever and have it show all the pictures with cats.

Seems like all the photo apps I look at are either vastly over-engineered or lack this kind of visual search/tagging.
