Exactly. Thats why I prefer Flatnotes. But there is still room for improvement like tag-handling or MD image storing.

Database is a non starter for me too.
With plain MD files you can sync and edit everywhere with any tools.
Sorry to say that tools comes and go… My notes don’t. In 20 years time I will be using different tools, same notes.
The same is true for photos, and that’s why Immich is also a no go for me.

I settled with silverbullet.md self hosted, plus native editor on android, and synchting to keep stuff up to date.

Pretty sure Immich allows you to act on existing directory structures of images now. The database itself is hardly an issue there.

Nope, all immich metadata is stored in the db, maybe the files themselves are in the folders, but all info on albums and tags and such would be lost in immich database in 20 years time.
While my 20+ years of photos with metadata stored and sorted by album/folders will still be accessible in the next 20 years.
Its a matter of not depending on one tool specific formats but on standards and easy accessible metadata.
Nothing against immich at all on my side.
