It’s just a bigger scale version of the mobile camera roll with more features. For personal use only.
Yes, yes. I wanted you to look at the picture, is the thing. There's lots of stuff on there, not just a media server. Like, he uses machine learning.

It's not. It includes so many more features. Even the search alone is a wonderful experience. I can search using vague natural language and find the picture I want in seconds (and I have over 1 terabyte of photos)
“with more features” :)
Yeah, but the "more features" is the cool part.
The use case is for personal hosting. I guess what is really needed is
- some way to bridge personal archives and Nostr archives (extension to self-hosted media libraries)
- a spec to organize media that is not kind20
Yeah, I mean, with the proper interface, you could host your images anywhere. Could put them on Pinterest, GitHub, a CMS, homepage, etc. Just get them someplace reachable with a URL, create a wrapper (Kind 20) and add it to your pins or album or etc.
Bookmark images you've seen and add a comment.
And something like nostr.build ties into that, as you can upload your own stuff and publish the wrapper from there.
They have albums. If they used an album event, then you could have albums that are displayed on this app.
Then other people don't need to use nostr.build or sovbit.host or self-host, or whatever, to see your albums. This app would pull in albums from all over. You could then wrap other people's media and add it to your own pins. Could add an e tag showing the original source of the media.
I was thinking about this, fooling around with https://github.com/Silberengel/copyparty
Seemed like it was slightly-off, as a concept, but I liked the disambiguation-layer idea.
