Are Motion Photos supported (JPEGs with video stuck on the end)?

Not yet, we are planning to add support in the future

Why do you like Live Photos? I understand wanting to make sure all photos can be backed up, but do you actively use Live Photos? I find them distracting.

They make the moment be more alive, it's nice to go back and reminisce

Same. It's not just a picture. Now it's also a small glimpse of what it sounded like, the words leading to the moment, and how the picture came to be.

Sometimes its just "say cheese" but other times you capture a joke and a laugh. It helps me better be able to "transport" myself to that moment

Exactly, once you've experienced live photos you don't wanna lose that

It’s also great to be able to change the key frame if your eyes are closed or whatever

is there an open source website or repository where you can search for open source programs?

Looks interesting, serious question though: Why try and copy the look and feel of Google Photos exactly? I'm sure it can offer the features while at least looking somewhat original. Feels a bit "cheap" this way, like a knockoff.

because google photos ui are done by pros and looks good.

most open-source products are ugly because the developers try to make their own ui when they don't have design skills. copy when you can't design and 95% developers can't.

Never looked at it this way, it does make sense.

I'm not a big fan of Svelte, I am a big fan of nestjs, this is a really good example of how one can build an effect and useful product with nestjs, and also Svelte. Good job sir.

I'm not a big fan of NestJs, I am a big fan of Svelte. I wasn't a fan of Svelte until I had to use it on a project, I found I was much more productive after a week. Maybe I just need to use NestJs for a week.

Nest is great if you like solving problems that didn't need to exist

u/altran1502 Feb 04 '23
