I built Raza Photos: a local, distributed photo library for your Apple devices if you are tired of clouds and subscriptions.

Open source?
Not open-source for now, sorry, but I do consider open-sourcing the networking layer one day though. I am very proud of it and I am sure it would help many projects. It’s an amazing peer to peer system with many helpers like broadcasting, managing connections, discovering peers and so on. But the whole app needs a lot of stabilization so definitely not ready to be slapped publicly on GitHub.
Sorry, not trustworthy with private data. Good luck though.
I totally agree with you and I know it was always going to be a long shot. For what it’s worth, the whole thing is local and you can see on all network reports there is no telemetry, no communication with any servers at any time. But I get it - this should not be your homework, nor yours to prove. Still. Maybe someone here will find it helpful.
Uh, is this closed source?

Damn…I feel bad doing this but maybe you can cut your losses now and invest time in another project :/
