Image database

Personal digital photography organisation program that you host yourself. With Rust as backend and React as frontend. Ever wanted a way to manage all the photographies or videos that you have taken but do not want to upload it to the cloud? with Image database you will be able to store them in one place. You will also be able to tag and if there are metadata about where the images is taken you will also be able to show that exact locaction in a preview map. You will also be able to get an overall world map that tells you where you have been, based on your photographs.

npm run watch

Currently you can find the frontend at localhost:5000
