   My only issue with Immich is the partner sharing and face recognition overhead per account. It is a massive oversight. Looks like Noodle Gallery explicitly solves this (and more). I'm sold.

   EDIT: hmm after reviewing the repo, I'm going to wait a bit to see how this works out. There's a difference between LLM-assisted software development and blindly vibe-coding things without review and this seems a bit like the latter. I see no contributors and hundreds of commits in a very short amount of time. That's a red flag for now.

      Hey, I'm the main contributor to this repo. I do review the code - the reason why all of the commits are shown in a short time is just because of the way that I rebase on upstream Immich.

      I have been working on this project for 6 months, and (contrary to what the Immich team posts every single time my project is mentioned) I do not blindly vibe code - or are folks saying that blindly vibe coding 40+ working features while staying in sync with upstream over 6 months is possible?

      I really enjoy working on this project and have been building everything that I felt missing in my setup. If you try it out and aren't happy with it, every release ships with a script that reverts your db to Immich, so you're never locked in.

      Cheers! Pierre

         Thank you for releasing this to the world! The features appear genuinely valuable.

         Your response clears up a little about why this fork was necessary, as I had been wondering along with many others. It might make sense to be clearer about this to get ahead of the skepticism.

         Would you say the code is acceptable for upstreaming into Immich but you just wanted to move faster? Your claim about there suggests the situation to be a little emotionally charged from their side, so I appreciate you highlighting the “friendly fork” and compatibility aspects.
