Looks cool, bookmarket for later use !
However, the GUI looks very Discordish and is probably inspired by it. I hope it only stays at that and won’t put some shady privacy nightmare code into it !
To me this looks nothing like Discord beyond having a compact sidebar… In fact, I would hope that Discord never inspires any software UI, because it really fucking sucks.
It’s probably not a good idea to infer how privacy friendly an open source software is, based on such a superficial visual similarity to a closed source proprietary product.
So it is Jellyfin for ROMs, just without the “player” part for all systems? That would be great!
Do we know how it integrates the metadata? Basically, it should scrape & update the ROMs, i.e. the metadata remain with the ROM if it is moved to an non-android device. – I am no specialist hence asking if anybody can help clarify this?
Is there a Docker image? Cheers!
