I wish there was photo management software which catered to non-enterprise multi-user environments.
ie families, or small organizations where the photos (and database) would reside on a computer, but other users on their computers could access it via the local network.
At the moment, this middle ground doesn't seem to exist. It's either single-user only photo management software or full-blown multi-user digital asset management software with enterprise-level pricing.
PhotoStructure is absolutely designed for self-hosted family-and-friends access of local photos and videos. You'll get installation instructions emailed to you shortly after you subscribe to the beta. https://PhotoStructure.com
(Disclaimer: I'm the author, and wished the same thing you did, so I quit my job to build it).
Any chance the website could show a screenshot or something? It’s just a generic thing right now and I have no interest in signing up to something I can’t see.
