• Is there still development happening?

  Hey thanks for checking out Bear! Yes, Bear is still in quite active development (and we've hired a few people recently!), we're just heads-down on Bear 2 right now. It's a huge release with a lot of new features that you can get a better feel for in our forum. There's a beta for the Mac right now with iOS coming soon. If you're interested in trying it, leave a comment on this thread and we'll get you in with the... Source: about 1 year ago

• Are there any estimates on when Bear 2.0 will be released?

  You might be right. If that's true, then it's a major problem, because according to the Shiny Frog website, they have sixteen employees at the company. Source: over 1 year ago

• C’mon Bear…

  Regarding small team, they are not as small as one might think, 16 people: https://shinyfrog.net Craft was about the same size last year, and look what they've done in these 12 months. Source: almost 2 years ago

• I hope the wait is worth it...

  I get that Bear 2 has been in the oven for a while, and I'm not here to tell anyone how to live their life. But I'd argue it's a little excessive to worry that a 16-person company and its app might be dead if they haven't released something new in just 30 days. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Is the Bear Team losing money?

  The subscription doesn’t pay for iCloud anyway, it pays for continued development. I have been looking at the team’s page and seen they have been growing over the months. This is what our subscriptions are paying. Source: over 2 years ago

• How to tag and store pictures downloaded from the internet?

  Digikam seems ideal for this https://digikam.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• What are your favorite methodologies for organizing digital life

  I have all of my photos (with the exception of smartphone photos... ugh) in a nicely constructed set of folders \photos\yyyy\yyyymmmdd\ then the folder made by the camera, etc. I've got a small python script to generate the folders. I use Digikam[1] to do facial recognition and tagging on them. It's finally gotten to the point where it doesn't crash all the time writing metadata, and the facial recognition is... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• are there any free self-hosted DAMs like Adobe Experience Manager [AEM]?

  I use digikam for my own personal library. I’m not sure if it’s able to be run from a server, but I know you can hook up a NAS to it to manage it. Can tag photos, rank, organize, etc. Source: about 1 year ago

• Looking for a simple Photo manager/DAM for not photos advice?

  Check out digiKam. It has photo editing tools as well, but the main focus is photo management. Also it is free and open source. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Looking for a way to tag my photo collection with keywords

  But with that many photos, I'd suggest a more fully featured digital asset management (DAM) program. Lightroom (paid), DigiKam, or DarkTable (both free) are good choices. PhoTool's IMatch (paid) also uses exiftool and is extremely powerful with regards to metadata. Source: about 2 years ago
