I’ve been wanting the same thing for a while now too. I’ve thought about trying to build it myself but the thought of requiring users to manage their own library seems too niche. A hosted, music-focused Plex competitor sounds awesome but also not sustainable. Surely the majority of those users who care about managing their music library are also happier owning their storage too, no?
Storage is tricky... I know how to self-host software and get storage but I find it too much of a hassle to do it for me only, so I just have a folder in a google drive, which I need to migrate from soonish.
Why do you think a Plex competitor would not be sustainable?
This is a cool idea! The one thing that puts me off from using it is that it seems to automatically do the searching on every tab change. I'd much rather it search only when I click on it. Right now it's adding unnecessary network traffic at best, or collecting my browser traffic at worst.
Is it? The Reddit comment mentions that most of the code is written in Rust — I assume business logic, encryption, etc — and the UI is in electron via React.
So this certainly seems quite a bit different from plain electron apps.
