Wish we can donate to the development of Firefox and not projects like this.

And yes I did but stopped last year when it became clear they are spending money on projects I don't care about https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/what-we-fund/

I don't know how it relates to anything else happening in the world but it seems like a good idea. People use Google photos, people look for alternatives.

Nice sentiment but 100k isnt much.

Is there any published guide to self host? There's no mention of it anywhere except an offhanded comment in the Readme.

Isn't Mozilla cash strapped?

Will they be incentivized to develop features that people don't want now?

From a quick look, only the client is open source. The server software is still privative. Why did Mozilla fund this? There is no shortage of libre software of self-hosted image servers in need of funding.

I wonder how many people actually use Ente. Looks very niche and non-mainstream to me.

The true alternative to Photos is Immich: https://github.com/immich-app/immich. Anything that someone else hosts is not in any way "private".
