I guess the Github description/HN title is incomplete, it's curious that it's saying it's a backup solution, but what is visible is an web-based photo browser..

I guess the Github description/HN title is incomplete, it's curious that it's saying it's a backup solution, but what is visible is an web-based photo browser... yeah yeah I get it, just like Google Photos (i.e. App-Which-Must-Not-Be-Named according to the docs[1]), the web viewer is part of the package... I guess it needs a better description, IMO a project with several big components (web, mobile, backend) sells itself short being named just "backup solution".

It is a backup solution, the mobile app automatically backs up photos as you take them.

  Sure, that is part of it. But it seems to offer a bit more than pure backup, which you could get with a number of services.

Hey man, project's maintainer here. Thank you for the well thoughts. Naming is hard as it is :P. What would be a nice phase to describe the project?

  Add a 2 3 line description right after your heading before Disclaimer and all other stuff that what this project actually is. What does self hosting and mobile phone mean here (I don't know if it makes your phone a backup server)
