PhotoPrism is a server-based application for browsing, organizing and sharing your personal photo collection.
It makes use of the latest technologies to automatically tag and find pictures without getting in your way.
Say goodbye to solutions that force you to upload your visual memories to the cloud or pay monthly fees.

## Why this has to be free software

The development of every commercial product is focused on monetization.
We've built similar apps more than once and every single time the constraints of working
in a profit-oriented corporate environment were an impediment.
We are sure we can do better with only a fraction of the budget. Simplicity can be very powerful.
Go, the programming language we're using, is a great example. It is heavily influenced by the ideas of Niklaus Wirth.

> Simple, elegant solutions are more effective, but they are harder to find than complex ones, and they require more time, which we too often believe to be unaffordable.
> — NIKLAUS WIRTH, CACM, FEB. 1985

## Sponsorship

Developing PhotoPrism is a community effort. We welcome sponsorship proposals to improve our funding while we 
continue working on our first release and beyond: From providing test devices, offering perks for contributions
to covering the cost of living for a full-time developer. 

In exchange, we are happy to mention your support and would love to share our experience with you or your team, 
either on-site or remote. We can also help you getting existing photo collections tagged or build an API that 
integrates with your infrastructure.

organization that might want to support our project.
