Hello HN, my wife and I just had a newborn daughter, and we're trying to figure out how to manage our photos of her. Right now we're keeping our photo libraries in Google Photos, and manually sharing via SMS, Facebook, and WeChat. Keeping everybody on the right conversations is getting tedious already. I'd love to be able to centralize this in a self-hosted app, if possible. Does anyone have suggestions?

Top priorities:

* Open source & self-hosted

* Easy upload from Android & iOS devices

* Easy sign-on / viewing from web, Android, and iOS devices

Nice-to-haves:

* Easy sharing to social media

* Authenticated RSS feeds or some sort of notifications for registered users

* Allows sharded installs or advanced permissions management (in case I can convince the rest of the family to use this for their photos as well)

I've looked a bit at Pixelfed, but it looks like it fails on the mobile device front.

As a follow-on question, does anyone know how likely a self-hosted app like this would be to work across the Great Firewall? My in-laws are in China (hence sharing through WeChat).
