My photos are in disarray and it would be nice to have something like this to help me organize them, but I store my raw files (.NEF) as well. Does this support raw files?

Yes. NEF and DNG are supported. Other RAW formats may work or might easily work but I haven't looked into them yet. What others have done with RAW and JPEG counterparts is to keep them together in the same directory with the same file name. This way they are organized in tandem. If you add EXIF using Elodie then just include both the RAW and the JPEG so they stay consistent. MOV, MP4, M4V, AVI and 3GP video files are also supported.

  What would your thoughts be about integrating this into an open API service? Where photos could be uploaded, and then delivered to a storage system (Flickr, S3, Dropbox) of one's choice?

    My thoughts: Bandwidth. For it to make sense, he'd have to do hosting too, and charge for it. (Otherwise it'd be inefficient and costly.) I'd be ok with having a web-based frontend to this that I could run on my own server, though. That or make a better (and libre!) Google Photos.

      My original goal was for this to become a static API generator from which a static website could be created. Once I started down this path though that destination became less attractive. I love the idea of a libre Google Photos but once I integrated Elodie with Google Photos [1] I lost the motivation to have another front end for my photos :).

    I originally had it integrated with Dropbox but switched to Google Drive because of Google Photos. Here's a detailed post about that. https://medium.com/p/my-automated-photo-workflow-using-google-photos-and-elodie-afb753b8c724 https://medium.com/p/my-automated-photo-workflow-using-googl...
