koel VS Monica

Koel Music Server (https://github.com/koel/koel) Opensource music server, nice GUI and allows high fidelity streaming of all your music files

You could take a look at koel. I don’t see it suggested that often. The iOS app is open source, but cost $9.99 on the App Store (one time purchase, not a subscription).

Koel. It's simple, it works out of the box, is ready to use despite low effort setup.

Koel - stream your music collection. A little tough to setup and the android app is a little buggy, but the best interface I've seen for such an app (lmk if you know pretty alternatives).

koel looks nice and comes with native apps too.

Koel

while Jellyfin is great for video, i have found its music streaming to be lacking... i prefer to use Koel ( https://github.com/koel/koel ) it only supports a single library of music, but it does pretty much exactly what i want it to; and it has a native (at least android, not sure about ios) mobile client, all open source. its great.

I would like to install koel on a Digital Ocean droplet. However, I have not found their instructions to be very helpful regarding the installation of prerequisites. One article gave some suggestions, but they were out of date or otherwise incompatible.

Monica is a Personal Relationship Management (PRM) web application developed on PHP by Monicahq. The main aim of this project is to help individuals to organize and record their interactions with others. It works as a CRM tailored for managing relationships with friends and family. The Monica project is designed for individuals who struggle to remember important details about the lives of people they care about, including those with conditions, like Asperger syndrome or Alzheimer’s disease. It provides a private and personal space for users to keep track of essential information about their friends and family.

I've created some OSS projects, one of them being Monica [1], an open source CRM which pops up sometimes on HN. The project has more than 20k+ stars and a lot of contributors. I've also created other projects (OfficeLife [2], Bivouac [3]).

However, all these are passion projects, worked on at nights and weekends. My day job is about project management (currently a very senior position) at various big corps.

I would like to switch careers and become a professional full stack developer. I can't choose between backend and frontend since I've done everything on my projects. I only know Laravel, Vue 3, HTMX. I have to deploy my projects myself, maintain them myself, and design everything myself.

I'm not an expert in anything, but I know a bit of everything that is required to ship something that works.

That being said, what are the chances of being hired as a professional developer? Will I be taken seriously?

I've been using Monica [1] for the personal CRM and it does what it is supposed to do. It's a basic web app and lacks the sophistication moderns apps have, but it hasn't died for 5 years at least. Just FYI.

I am looking for some kind of cli/tui app that has similar functionality as Monica.

My wife and I tried to use Monica for many months in the past but had to give up because of the incredibly buggy CardDAV implementation when using iOS. Now that this has come out it seems the issue (https://github.com/monicahq/monica/issues/6175) was ignored likely because of all this work.

Have improvements been made with this in the new version?

That does remind me of this project: https://github.com/monicahq/monica
