Immich is great. I run a small friends and family instance on a NAS and I’ve never had a hiccup that took more than ten minutes to fix. My backup system is borg to a Hetzner storage box nightly with a healthchecks.io check set to email me if it goes more than 48 hours without a success. Cheap, reliable, and fast enough for me.

That still doesn’t mean that it’s not a shitty design language that looks like somebody just discovered the circle tool in gimp.

I seem to be solidly in a grumpy old man mood tonight.

You know what was good UI design language? Mid-late 90s Windows/MacOS/BeOS. Buttons looked like buttons and you could see if they were pressed or disabled. Same with sliders, radio button, and every other UI widget. The slight 3D look meant that it was obvious at a glance what was going on. Window corners has little grabbers to show where to grab. Scroll bars showed how much you could scroll, with obvious buttons to do so.

Everything about flat UI design is bullshit.

In iOS there is an app called ShutterDeclutter that every day shows you the all photos you took on that day of the year in your collection and has a swipe left/right to delete or keep each one. It makes the job of reviewing photos manageable for people with multi decade long albums. I really want Immich to add that feature.

You mean run TaskWarrior and host a sync server, right?
