I’ve always wanted a simple 'Now Playing' display for music coming off my PLEX server. It took a bit of thinking, but once I wrapped my head around running a tiny web app on an old Pi inside my home network, the whole idea just jelled.

There’s something about giving older gear a new, modern purpose. In this case: an old iPad paired with a Pi 3B+.

After some grunt-work getting the layout looking decent on both desktop and that ageing iPad, this project is “good enough.” Yup, I could still futz around with it (some images crop a bit weird), but honestly? It works, and that’s a win.
