The moment has finally arrived. Many claimed it would never happen, while others sacrificed priceless family photos to defend online developers they'd never met. But through the collective effort of three full-time devs, a tech billionaire, Louis Rossmann, and an oddly-framed video cutting off the 'O' in FUTO – Immich has officially gone stable. The popular Google Photos alternative (pronounced image) dropped their first ever stable release this week after almost four years of whacky versioning and breaking changes that have left users electronically and emotionally scarred. And while there's still no tag support for mobile (they're just messing with me at this point), they also released a fun CD demo version for those willing to shell out a few bucks. Unrelatedly, I officially kicked off my annual self-host user survey this week. This year's survey consists of ~40 questions across five categories, takes about five minutes to complete, and will remain open for responses until the end of October (2,100+ responses so far!): Other notable activity for the week: Happy selfh.st/ing!
