@Jeroenvb3 What demo where you using?

@Jeroenvb3 What demo where you using?

It has to be demo2 because that is the only instance that gets "updated" to the latest dev version.

Jeroenvb3 commented 1 year ago

@DigitalWarrior I was using demo2, indeed.

RobP-git commented 1 year ago

I agree with OP. As a first time viewer of the project, I went to demo2 to look at it and there is nothing to look at. I'm not about to upload my own personal files to a public demo!

demo1.librephotos.com has preloaded images. Every time the demo1 pulls the latest images the db is reloaded with prior scan data. demo2.librephotos.com does not have preloaded images. So it is like a fresh install, just the user is preset.

Demo 1 runs the stable branch Demo 2 runs the dev branch

Are you suggesting that there be a demo 3 & 4. Two dev with one having preloaded scan? Two stable with one having preloaded scan?

I wasn't aware there was a demo1. Please update README.md to reflect this, that's probably all thats needed.

edit: I just had a look at demo1. It could use some improvement as a demo to show off your best features. As a first time viewer who isn't familiar with the project, the demo1 appears half broken and the images are all faces not actual photos. First impressions count.
