Looks good, but I don't understand how you can compete with Google & Apple with a photo organizer app.

You may want to use Flutter or similar tool so you don't have to write it twice.

The aim isn’t to compete with the companies at large. But to provide an alternative for users who (like me) care both about privacy and convenience when it comes to the niche space of photo storage. The size of the audience might be small, but I’m optimistic about it being large enough for me to sustain this as a small business.

And yes, I am using Flutter to build the mobile apps. It does come with its own set of problems that I have to bang my head against, but I can’t complain as it’s saving me quite a bit of effort.

Perhaps you’ll find your market overlaps largely with users of Brave and DuckDuckGo. It’s helpful to know where to find your people. Good luck.

Firstly, great work on the your product. It already looks quite polished!

Could you point out what problems you faced with Flutter? I ask because I'm planning to use it to build an app.
