## What it is
Pinry is a self-hosted, open-source tiling image board system for saving, tagging, and sharing images, videos, and webpages in a Pinterest-style skim-friendly format. It is built with Django and Vue, supports multiple users, public/private boards, browser extensions, a REST API, and Docker deployment.

## Use cases
- self-host a pinterest alternative
- save and tag images from the web
- share image boards with friends
- bookmark videos and webpages visually
- organize inspiration images in a grid
- run a private multi-user image board on docker

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted Pinterest-style board you control
- you need multi-user support with public and private boards
- you want docker deployment with ARM and x86 images
- you want a REST API and browser extension for saving pins

## When to avoid
- you need a hosted managed service with no server maintenance
- you need heavy-duty image editing or annotation features
- you want a general-purpose bookmark manager for text notes rather than visual media
