There seems to be quite a gap in the market for a Gallery application for Android (and iOS?) which supports self-hosted remote galleries.
For quite a while I'm also in search for a solution which allows me to share galleries with my family, without having to ask them to jump through hoops in order to access them.
After some searching I'm now testing photoprism [1] which is a fantastic application, especially for self-hosting of photos. There's no mobile app for it (yet) and user-management is just starting to get implemented, but it shows alot of promise. Unfortunately not yet enough for putting it on the tablet of my granny but one can hope (and donate!)
As of today, I couldn't even find a good Android Gallery app which allows hassle-free browsing of a network drive (hassle-free as in "comparable to Google/Apple Photos"
Either way, I'm afraid that building a good mobile gallery app is an equally large task, after all the best solution would be to replace the users' native gallery-app with an equivalent that also supports custom Online-Galleries...
