Hey Dad,

In case we didn't have enough projects already, I started a new one for us. We need a good place to share photos, home videos, etc. with the rest of the family. A place where everybody can log in securely and quickly access everything. Regularly backed up between my NAS and yours.

At worst, this can be a small project that we tinker with a bit. At best, it can be something we spend a lot of time on and get the whole family on board with. We can build some things for scratch or just use existing projects where it makes sense. Either way, I'm excited to spend some time on it with you!

So far, I've:

  • Set up the domain and github repo for the code
  • Built out a simple landing page
  • Done some thinking/planning about data and cross-site backups.

Next up:

  • Secure auth
  • Image and video browsing, playback, tagging, etc.
  • Uploads and downloads
