  • audiobookshelf

    Self-hosted audiobook and podcast server

  • For anyone who's game to run another service for audiobooks, I've found Audiobookshelf to be pretty good: https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • MagicOnion

    Unified Realtime/API framework for .NET platform and Unity.

  • If you're in dotnet land, I'd recommend poking magic onion [0] or messagepack. It'll be much nicer to work with once you have a decent pile of message types. Otherwise it's easy to end up in an entity framework like situation where you're constantly serializing and deserializing, generating serializer wrappers, etc. Although any of the cysharp libs are great in dotnet, definitely recommend checking out their back catalogue.

  • catt

    Cast All The Things allows you to send videos from many, many online sources to your Chromecast.

  • You might want to look into catt for Chromecast:

    But I'm not aware of what the equivalent would be for Amazon-type casting

    I wrote a wrapper around catt for playing music to my house speaker-groups. It also works with video but I don't use that as often so it might be buggy--better to use catt directly
