Hello everyone!

The day is here! Journiv's Immich integration (watch full demo) is out. Now you can capture the story behind your photos and videos.

Highlights:

  • Dual mode: Since the community was split (1, 2) on link vs copy, Journiv supports both mode.
  • Link Mode: Journiv will store references to Immich assets and also add them in an album called Journiv in you immich profile so you can easily see all the assets used in your journal.
  • Copy Mode: Journiv copies the original assets in it's media storage so you always have them in Journiv as a copy.
  • Linkbacks: If an assets in your journal entry came from Journiv then Journiv shows you an option to jump back to that asset in Immich with a single click (well if we are counting it is two clicks :))
  • Immich Picker: Journiv has a integrated immich picker which allow you to browse all your immich assets within Journiv.
  • Principle of least privilege: Journiv Immich integration has been designed with principle of least privilege and require a minimal set of permission on the API key to function.
  • Many more features, bug fixes, enhancements.
  • I also wrote a blogpost about this development.
  • Yesterday was a big day for Journiv and me: Alex Tran u/altran1502, the founder of Immich became a Github sponsor of Journiv.

I have similar kinda story and thats how Journiv was born: https://www.journiv.com/blog/the-story-behind-journiv

I wanted to capture all the stories/thoughts behind the pictures to some day maybe pass it down to my kids but I didn't want to put all this info on some third party server. I looked a lot for self hosted journal kind of solution but didn't find anything beside note taking apps (plenty of them). So finally decided to take matters in my hand. Immich integration was a primary use case for me so everyday/week I can add snippets notes to pics to keep memory of those pics and what I was thinking, what was happening, what did the kid said/do etc etc.
