I built a simple memories app for Synology photos (github.com)

I built a simple node js/docker app that uses the unofficial api to fetch photos in a selected timeframe, then send an email with working web links to those photos.

For example, you'll get a daily/weekly/or monthly email with links to any photo in the past within that given day/week/month.

I've only tested it on my NAS (using quickconnect), so I'd love any feedback/suggestions.

The memories feature was the only thing I missed after switching from google photos, so I figured this would be an easy to implement solution.

The docker image is in the docker hub registry, so it's pretty easy to get up running by hosting it on your NAS. You'll just need to add the environment variables. Instructions are in the github readme.

I started building it just as a solution for myself, but figured others might find it useful. Let me know if there are any mistakes or features you'd like to see added! Feel free to open a github issue and make a PR.

Thank you! Let me know if you run into any issues, or see anything that could be improved. This was my first time building a docker image
