Google Photos and Our Fable
Google Photos is excellent photo infrastructure. Our Fable is not trying to replace that volume library; it creates a private meaning layer for memories a child may receive later.
Different tools for different family jobs.
What it tends to do well

Google Photos is best for backing up, searching, and organizing large photo and video libraries.
Where Our Fable is different
Our Fable preserves letters, voice notes, contributor stories, relationship context, and milestone-timed archive moments alongside chosen photos and videos.
Our Fable is best for the smaller set of memories that need context, contributor identity, family voice, and future meaning for a child.
