The full story
The poster loved Picasa, the photo management app Google bought and later shut down, and felt nothing since managed photos in the same simple, fast, local way. They are bringing it back using Claude Code Desktop, and say it is about half done.
The process was detailed research from screenshots and descriptions, a plan split into 13 milestones of 20 to 40 tasks each, and a pause at each milestone for Claude to produce an HTML report so the poster could check progress and adjust the roadmap by hand.
