Apple silicon support

Just a quick update. I’ve recently bought a Mac mini M1 (8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD) and the main reason is to experiment with Photostructure (and also try some other alternatives). I’m still testing it with my 110K photo library (it took 4-5 days of indexing) but so far it’s going extremely well.

Installation with Node is straightforward and the free, basic version I’m running is really awesome. The idea, as I commented on previous posts in the thread, is use this as a centralized photo server to be able to enjoy my photolibrary from any other device at home (I’m not very fond of configuring this for remote access).

I miss a native Android app (someone did mention that a few months ago) for a more joyful experience on my TV (using a keyboard there is not ideal), but besides that I find Photostructure fantastic and I will probably jump to the paid version sometime in the future.

I’m waiting to test some alternatives first, but if anyone is interested in doing something like this, the Mac mini M1 is a great option. Cheers!
