Re: Shared Albums
>the receiver just needs a free ente account.
I feel like there should be an even more frictionless option to make it easy for family to access photos. For example, if there were a way to just trigger a mailing list when an album is added to, that would be perfect. “Here is an update on our trip: [link]” I love that you mention you are security and privacy focused, and I see how this could conflict with that mission. Perhaps a tradeoff here could be allowing one viewing via link and future viewings require account?

We can do this if all of the participants are already on ente.

We are hoping to come up with an implementation similar to this where in a link to an album can be shared with N devices. We will persist an accessToken on the viewer's localstorage so that they can re-view the album multiple times without having to sign up.
It's funny, I see this being the first feature they kill off unfortunately when it becomes the new super easy way of sharing CSAM on shady forums.
