thank you for the thoughtful feedback! i actually considered this before launching. i do have accounts on both sourcehut and Codeberg, and i'm supportive of diversifying away from centralized platforms.
for this project, i ended up choosing GitHub primarily for the automated binary builds and releases through GitHub Actions. the Pro tier for students gives me generous build minutes, and the Trippy maintainers helped me get the release process set up properly. so for now i'm planning to stay on GitHub, but it's definitely something worth keeping in mind as the project grows.
thanks again for the encouragement!
thanks! originally built this just for my own film photos, then added Exif support for digital and decided to share it. funny enough, your profile made me realize i never checked if there are analog photography communities on Lemmy. :D
