Did they just nick the Google Photos UI?
Yes its basically selfhosted Google Photos instance kinda thing. There is a great story the Dev shared once, he was paranoid about backing up things to Google or Apple cloud as they have history of sharing it with Feds. So Dev won't like his family pictures on such platforms, so when him and his partner were to have a baby, he started working on immich, so by the time baby arrives he'll have a safe platform to backup family pictures.
Wow!! Immich looks great. I'll be getting that going asap. I actually just started paying for Google drive just to have more space for photos and videos. I've always wanted to move over to using my server but I just couldn't find a great Google photos alternative. This looks perfect.
Glad to know, I was able to help ya avoid that cost. We should be thanking the Dev's baby, as it helped us all to protect our privacy and our pockets 🤣.
If the logo said "Photos" I can be sure some couldn't see a difference between it and GPhotos
