Post-Quantum Resistant Google Photos alternative project (lemmy.ml)

I'm a developer and I've created websites and mobile/desktop apps for business and self-employees.

I'm a person who always liked privacy and I'm planning to create a Google photos open source alternative. Alternatives already exist but what makes this project different is that it's going to be quantum resistant.

This is my plan:

Photos backups, sharing, see photos locations in Open Street Map.
Use recommended post quantum algorithms by The National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Take an hybrid approach, this is quantum and already known encryption.
Create the app with Material 3 design.

I'm just creating this post just to see if there would be people interested in this project and to ask if you could share your opinion.

Do you think there would be a market for this?
Would you be interested in being an early adopter and test it out?

Please share suggestions and opinions! 😁

So, something like Pixelfed, but with PQC encryption in the file system and enabled for HTTPS?

Actually it would be a personal gallery, something like google photos. But you'd be able to share albums and photos to family or friends
