  41. Immich uses SvelteKit for its frontend: https://github.com/immich-app/immich I’ve used it as a reference for a NestJS+SvelteKit app in the past, they did a pretty good job.
    comment by tjhorner · 2024-10-19 · in Svelte 5 Released
  42. The true alternative to Photos is Immich: https://github.com/immich-app/immich . Anything that someone else hosts is not in any way "private".
  43. Not entirely what you're looking for, but https://github.com/immich-app/immich has worked well for me, running on my own server.
