Long requested feature for our web app: upload whole folders not just single items. Now it's possible and preserves the existing folder structure and automatically creates folders/albums. The other app already did that, now the web does too. #degoogle #madeineu

With v1.24 of the iOS and Android apps, we just added a very often requested feature: With the new Photo Widgets, you can bring random memories to your homescreen 🎉 You can choose between your entire gallery, you favorited photos or the "On This Day" filter zeitkapsl.eu/en/docs/guid...

🇪🇺 Chat Control Update 🇪🇺 Yesterday the EU institutions met & were in discussion, but as of now no final agreement has been met regarding the scanning on content. Say NO TO CHAT CONTROL & NO TO SURVEILLANCE. 😡 Make your voices heard & contact your MEPs now objecting to this 👉 fightchatcontrol.eu

The past few weeks have been a bit quiet from our end. We finally finished a huge refactoring of the Android/iOS apps that ultimately got rid of >30k lines of code. We migrated all viewmodel logic into the shared #go core allowing us way more code sharing while still offering native UI/UX. #oss

How do we advertise as a small bootstrapped privacy tech company staying true to ourselves? Paying Google, Meta&co for ad space was never an option. Instead we decided to sponsor @noyb.eu and support their important work defending our rights, and booked an ad-slot in this weeks GDPRtoday newsletter

Hackerangriff auf Fotoplattform sorgt für Verunsicherung

Ein großangelegter Datendiebstahl bei einem deutschen Anbieter für Onlinefotogalerien sorgt im Moment auch in Oberösterreich für Verunsicherung. Der Grund: Die Plattform wird auch von oberösterreichis...

While you can sort albums for a while now in the web app, they were not sortable in our iOS and Android apps. In the upcoming zeitkapsl 1.18 release, you can now sort by name, creation date, last modified and number of media items. #e2ee #unplugbigtech #did

Our storage and compute costs just went up ~35%. It cuts directly into the margin we use to build and improve #zeitkapsl We could pass that on. Instead: Inhousing our storage layer Gradually replacing Hetzner and Backblaze Best case: No price increase, stronger resilience, and faster uploads. 🤞

Currently following the upload progress, especially on initial library imports on the mobile apps was a bit intransparent. With the next update, there is a nice upload progress view on the grid as well as in the settings page. #didit #degoogle

With the upcoming release of the Android (v 1.15.5) and iOS (v1.15.6) apps we have made it easier to add content to albums. You can now also directly add photos from the album view. Adding photos from the main grid still works as well of course. Now it works both ways #degoogle #googlephotos
