I’ve been using Immich for about 4 months. My original goal was to migrate off of google photos. Immich is the best self hosted option. But google photos search is so much better. You can search for a location, date, item, landmark with natural language Immich takes a little finessing to get the result you’re looking for. It’s also not great for pet photos yet. I’m running both in parallel hoping some day Immich catches up with some of those features. I’ve donated for the license that funds some of the development. Even over the last four months I’ve seen some improvement. The mobile app needs some work for background syncing but it’s on the road map for early 2025.
Eagle.cool is a cool application! I can think of a lot of things you could track beyond image assets. I have a few friends that work in the prop industry and they have always talked about wanting a way to track props across productions.
https://vetted.ai - has been one of my favorites this year. It’s an AI shopping assistant. It’s especially useful searching for gifts for friends and family.
