With Syncthing my smartphone and PC would be perfectly synched (from what I know), but isn't exactly what Immich does.
With it you can remove photos one your phone and still view them when the PC is on
I know how to use docker (a bit) and I have already installed Immich with it some time ago, but it would be nice to have an easier alternative, especially for less tech inclined people
I agree and it would be much better if people would use Signal instead of WhatsApp, but I think there's still one problem.
Due to how messaging platforms work, every time you switch you lose pretty much everything (messages, media, etc)
This makes switching very hard even for a nerd like me, because if Signal is not "perfect" it means that I will have to switch again at some point and lose everything again.
It means we're doing something right.
