For #CastLab we plan a Google version that will also support Chromecasts.
But if we do that, we will make this version a paid one to support our work. We also plan to publish it on AppStore with the AirPlay support.
We thought about a one time payment around 3$.
What do you think about that?

	It seems legit
	It should be free for all platforms
	what's CastLab?

#CastLab will have a compact Player Controller when scrolling media to give more visibility. Also, we added an autoplay feature to cast the list of filtered pictures.The duration can be set between 1 to 30s (default: 5s).
For videos/audios, it will play the next one, immediately after ending.

While this account is mainly dedicated to #Fedilab, we also build some other apps.
Currently, we are working on an app called #CastLab. We made great improvements on it. This app can be run on Android or iOS

The goal of this app is to easily cast media from your device to TV or devices supporting apps such Kodi.

CastLab will be published only on #FDroid and no Google services will be involved such a Chromecast support.

Maybe it would be wise to refactor to use `deno` instead of `nodejs` 😉
#deno is the future while nodejs is the old tech...

We are working on a solution for making the app compatible with Kodi¹.
When we developed #CastLab, we didn't plan to create an UPnP AV media server (needed by Kodi) .
Currently, the app uses its own server without sharing it so it needs to be improved.
Thank you for your suggestion, we will try to bring an update ASAP.
