This version brings early access to gallery extensions. These are extra features of the app which could be either purchased individually, each for its own small price, or acquired for free by sponsors and contributors. Extensions are activated by perpetual offline license keys – no accounts and subscriptions required.
While the extensions are in early access, the only way to acquire one is by sending an email using the Help option on the extension activation screen (Preferences > Extensions). Later, the proper store will be launched, accepting Bitcoin and other P2P payment methods. Extensions won't ever be sold through Google Play or credit card checkout, and the Play store version of the gallery will never have the option to buy extensions – only activate, just like it is done in Grayjey by FUTO. This is an experiment with an ecosystem-independent way for developers to sell app features as a product, and for users to buy what they need and thus support the development. If you want to see this comes live and evolves, install the app from F-Droid or from GitHub ;)
I'd be glad to see you believe in this approach. Check out what you can get so far below. Of course, if you think that's nonsense, remember this is a free and open-source app – you can doctor the feature flags and have your own fully-featured build, leaving me with nothing.
Memories
Memories is the first and currently the only one available extension. It brings you a daily collection of photos and videos from the same day in past years.
The gallery searches for memories once a day in the morning. In the extension preferences, you can enable sending a notification whenever new memories are found.
This one is 2$ and free for sponsors and contributors.
