I don't know if the original repo and LibrePhotos will permanently diverge (that appears to be the intention), but I like you am a bit confused at the necessity for a permanent fork and I'd like to know more too before committing to a version.

• PhotoPrism

  AI-Powered Photos App for the Decentralized Web 🌈💎✨

  

There are two projects I would mention in the same spirit:

- https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism

- https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed

While I think photoprism has a very similar scope, pixelfed has stronger emphasis on federation. The project website gives a nice overview over different providers:

  This program uses the Chrome DevTools Protocol to drive a Chrome session that downloads your photos stored in Google Photos.

  

Check out this google photos export tool by the perkeep team: https://github.com/perkeep/gphotos-cdp

> This program uses the Chrome DevTools Protocol to drive a Chrome session that downloads your photos stored in Google Photos. By default, it starts at the most ancient item in the library, and progresses towards the most recent. It can be run incrementally, as it keeps track of the last item that was downloaded. It only works with the main library for now, i.e. it does not support the photos moved to Archive, or albums. For each downloaded photo, an external program can be run on it (with the -run flag) right after it is downloaded to e.g. upload it somewhere else.
