I'm doing all the same as you

What I'm not moving away from though is Google Maps and Photos. No good alternatives exist

For photos, I have been using Immich, and have been very impressed. It has pretty much all the features I want (automatic backup, chronological timeline, mobile/web app, face tagging, semantic search, albums, sharing, etc). It's a server you self-host though, so setting it up might be a pain if you've never done something like that before.

This is super neat

This looks good as a self hosted option, but I want something hosted.

Pay for a cloud server and install it? There's a hosted option 😀

Lol I've been a software developer for 20 years, I'm well aware of what it takes to maintain a server. Which is exactly why I would rather pay someone else to do it

Amazon photos?

[–] marksson@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

About Maps, same here. Even looked into paid alternatives, and... There's not really much of value. I'm disappointed.

Ente? Just started subscribing though... seems good. 99c for base plan is pretty attractive.

Looks promising, I'll keep my eye on it, might give it a go with some photos to test it out. I wish it weren't e2e encrypted though, I actually like a lot of the features Google provides (tagging/grouping by feature, looking back, etc)
