Thank you for pointing out Readeck. It's amazing!

Regarding Immich, you write: "I’ve come up with a solution for sharing albums with family, as well."

Could you elaborate on that a bit?

I’ve been using https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDisplay for this purpose. Does something similar and more. Works great!

How would this solution have helped you? You'd have to integrate WorkOS in your app instead of standardised SCIM?

Just read through your google doc, interesting! But what about additional family members, with their own cameras, and no interest in any clever workflow activities :) I'm currently using Google Photos as my main service, and it's working good enough for now: each family member has the Google Photos app which uploads pics automatically, to their own account. We all share our Google Photos with each other. This way I (as main curator) have access to everyone's pics, without anyone having to do anything. Google lets you store the original size pics, so that is great (not like iCloud that resizes all pics!). Google also adds face recognition, which is very practical, and also provides a good interface for everyone to view the pictures. Regarding safekeeping: I use the Google Drive interface to backup all my photos to my local linux storage (combination of rsync and https://github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse to mount Google Drive). This way I always have all original photos locally. Finally I backup everything offsite using BackBlaze.

All this relies heavily on Google Photos, but I have my own local backup of all original files. So if I need to change service, it should just be a one-time effort to migrate.

I just use my bash history with a very large HISTSIZE. Not as nice, but doesn't require any effort. Effort I never want to put in at the time I'm using the complicated command, I have other issues at that time :)

Ask HN: How does a 1990s web developer get back on track?

During the late nineties I was making various interactive/dynamic websites using the then standard technologies: HTML, PHP, Perl, Mysql, and a tiny bit of CSS. This was the time when Javascript was really only used for form field validation and to spawn popups (Ajax was not yet around), when all layout was done using borderless table/tr/td HTML elements, when there were no mobile devices and all you had to care about was one or two screen resolutions and basically two browsers: Netscape and MSIE. Since then I have been pursuing my IT career in a different area. But sometimes I still find myself wanting to setup a website every now and then. But in the little free time I have available, I stumble upon all kinds of web technologies and frameworks: JQuery, Node.js, Ruby on rails, AngularJS, Backbone.JS, Django, Bootstrap, to name a few. Ofcourse all have their purpose, weaknesses and strengths. But after work and family, there isn't much time left for exploring and trying new things. Maybe other people have already made this journey and can share their experiences? What would be the best way for a nineties web developer to update his knowledge and skills?
