Vibe coding personal project:

Making an #app that gamifies sorting out a users’s personal #photo library.

When you’re bored on the tube or whatever you open up the app and it presents you with random #photographs or groups of photographs (maybe by day) from your phone and suggests tags with AI that you can either accept or overwrite with new tags, plus add notes or other stuff.

Critically these tags and info are saved into the photographs’ metadata so that any other app can overlay onto your photo library and take advantage of this order that you have created.

It would also be an opportunity to do some hard editing like deleting duplicates or very similar images.

Eventually, you’d work through everything and have a much richer and more usable library of #photos.

This is as difficult as I imagined.

HashPhotos has some of the functionality, can deal with the tagging and editing.

There are various metadata editors out there, but none quite as basic and automated as I am looking for. Nothing has the kind of automated library “editing assistant” i.e. leads the user though their library in the tidying exercise.

Maybe I’m just discussing around what is basically Apple Photos, which is annoyingly not available in any meaningful way on PC.

My problem might be that my desired workflow is too basic for a proper photographer and too “advanced” for your typical phone photographer. I’m in limbo.
