## Key Features ##
2018-09-27 13:46:20 +00:00
2020-11-27 17:23:46 +00:00

2020-11-27 17:14:56 +00:00
it should be — whether it’
2020-11-27 18:30:45 +00:00
* Index everything without worrying about duplicates or [RAW to JPEG conversion ](https://docs.photoprism.org/developer-guide/library/converting/ ).
2020-11-27 17:23:46 +00:00
* Automatic [image classification ](https://docs.photoprism.org/developer-guide/metadata/classification/ )
based on Google TensorFlow. In addition, our indexer detects _colors_ , _chroma_ , _luminance_ , _projection_ ,
_location type_ , _quality_ , and many other properties.
* Includes four high-resolution [world maps ](https://demo.photoprism.org/places ) to see where you've been and for rediscovering
2020-11-27 17:14:56 +00:00
long-forgotten shots.
2020-11-27 17:43:33 +00:00
* WebDAV clients, like Microsoft’
[connect ](https://docs.photoprism.org/user-guide/backup/webdav/ ) directly to PhotoPrism so that you to can open,
edit, and delete files from your computer or phone as if they were local.
2020-11-27 17:14:56 +00:00
You may easily sync your pictures with [Nextcloud ](https://nextcloud.com/ ) as well.
2020-11-27 17:23:46 +00:00
* PhotoPrism feels [like a native app ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_web_application ) and,
of course, you can also add it to your home screen.

## Funding ##

2020-01-26 09:56:22 +00:00
This project is about freedom and privacy but not necessarily about free beer. We feel like it
would be a mistake to state there will be no costs, because clearly we have huge expenses, your server hardware
2020-01-09 22:57:55 +00:00
will have a price tag and then maybe you'd like to have some extra features that need to be developed.
2020-01-04 19:19:50 +00:00
2020-01-26 10:07:52 +00:00
It's fair to say that users with basic needs will have no monthly costs. We were also way more effective
2020-11-27 09:08:12 +00:00
per dollar than investor-backed startups and learned a lot on top of it.
2020-01-09 22:57:55 +00:00
An earlier version of this document contained a rough number, but at the end of the day it doesn't matter.
2020-01-04 19:19:50 +00:00
2020-06-22 13:35:57 +00:00
Most established OSS companies make the bulk of their revenue with enterprise customers, that's why private users
2020-01-09 22:57:55 +00:00
and single developers typically get everything for free. Obviously that doesn't work if you have only private users
2020-06-22 13:49:19 +00:00
that refuse to share their data on top of it.
2020-01-09 12:23:31 +00:00
2020-01-09 22:57:55 +00:00
Looking forward, specific solutions for funding development and maintenance could be to...
2020-01-04 19:19:50 +00:00
2020-11-27 09:08:12 +00:00
- provide additional benefits to our sponsors
2020-01-04 21:03:10 +00:00
- sell a tested & supported version in the app store while our contributors and other developers can
2020-01-04 19:19:50 +00:00
continue to use Docker or build from source
2020-06-22 13:35:57 +00:00
- develop a one-click solution for private cloud hosting together with selected providers we trust
2020-10-19 10:02:04 +00:00
- offer a geodata, public events, and maps subscription since OpenStreetMap doesn't want us to use their development
2020-01-09 12:23:31 +00:00
API for production, which is perfectly fine
