It's not really an alternative to Immich as the title says, it's a fork that's continuously rebased with each release.

  And quite a few of the features seem like common sense additions that should be pulled into Immich itself.
  It's not entirely clear to me what warranted a forked release, are the immich devs not open to accepting some of these new features?

    They forked because these are all heavily vibecoded changes that we don't want to merge upstream as such. (- I'm on the Immich team)

    Are you planning on hand-implementing any of the features he's vibe-coded? The search functionality in particular seems like a basic consideration.

    Of course. We have many big items on our roadmap[0], and just recently in our latest minor[1] we released a new search query API and the first piece of many sharing improvements.
