I host over 30 personal albums and the photos load in seconds - no distractions, just the photos! Looks great on desktop and mobile.
This looks really promising. Best of luck with the rest of your roll out
this product looks really good

For photographers hosting 30+ albums, does it support album organization (nested folders, tags), or is it flat structure only?
@ashishdurgude - An album in DD Photos is all photos underneath a given folder. You can choose to just include photos directly in that folder, or you can set "recurse=true" in the albums.yaml file and it will include all photos in sub-dirs
The primary idea is that you organize photos somewhere else (I use Lightroom Classic). In there I can tag, rate, etc., but when I have a group of photos I want to publish, I export to a single folder and point DD Photos at it.
Frustration with sharing photos with friends and family led to the creation of this project. Instead of waiting 25+ seconds for an iCloud shared album to load, a DD Photos site loads in seconds.
