  • > you can see how well that has worked out for them

    I can't see a significant difference in actual commits since closing the subreddit https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/graphs/commit-activity

    > a few weeks ago they made a post crying about how their developer mindshare has been dwindling as of late

    What they actually said: "so the number has been pretty flat for the last 3 years all together". (https://jellyfin.org/posts/a-call-for-developers/)

    I'm not sure the way you describe it matches reality.

  • feishin

    A modern self-hosted music player.

  • Feedback so far:

    * either don't require the `http://` or `https://` prefix for the server URL, or add a note informing users that they need to add it themselves. Technical users can usually figure it out, but others will get angry or lost.

    * your icon is slightly larger than literally every other icon in my Dock, and it's mildly jarring

    * I have an extensive music library that loads quickly and properly in https://github.com/jeffvli/feishin, my current Jellyfin music player of choice, but nothing loads on the home screen and I see no error at all

    I'll definitely keep an eye out for updates, I'd love a good Jellyfin native client for macOS. Consider open sourcing it (or pieces of it), I'd be more than happy to contribute! Good luck!

  • JellyBox

    Desktop and mobile music client for Jellyfin

  • I get the need for native apps on media centers, like Roku, Apple TV, etc. I do not understand why anybody would need a native app on desktop. Let alone an unofficial closed-source one from a dev that only has this to say:

    > This is unofficial client for jellyfin app. For now macos only. Very early build. Expect any kind of crashes, issues and generally its good if it even runs.
