I’m a developer and I’ve created websites and mobile/desktop apps for business and self-employees.

I’m a person who always liked privacy and I’m planning to create a Google photos open source alternative. Alternatives already exist but what makes this project different is that it’s going to be quantum resistant.

This is my plan:

  • Photos backups, sharing, see photos locations in Open Street Map.

  • Use recommended post quantum algorithms by The National Institute of Standards and Technology.

  • Take an hybrid approach, this is quantum and already known encryption.

  • Create the app with Material 3 design.

I’m just creating this post just to see if there would be people interested in this project and to ask if you could share your opinion.

  • Do you think there would be a market for this?

  • Would you be interested in being an early adopter and test it out?

Please share suggestions and opinions! 😁

    I’m not too sure if “it uses a different encryption algorithm” is enough to differentiate from the competition. And to be perfectly honest, from one developer to another, I’m always extremely skeptical when a developer says “I plan to develop X” before I see something concrete like a codebase or some kind of alpha 😛
