- Access to my entire music library remotely
- A directory structure view, rather than just Album/Artist/Genre views
- Transcoding while streaming to minimize mobile data usage
- Syncing parts of my library for offline usage
FWIW, you can partially hit most of these with Navidrome with another frontend. I like using Symfonium (android) which allows local downloading, and has a directory view. I don’t think it would work offline though for the directory view. I don’t know about caching/downloading on desktop though; feishin is my favorite desktop frontend, but I don’t think it has a DL/play from DL feature.
The above is only partial. Thank you for your work and sharing. I think the discouraging comments miss that this was a passion project of yours to fill your own use case. Good work!
I realize it’s just another framework. But I think the next time I’m building something useful beyond a basic CLI I will try textualize. https://github.com/Textualize/textual?tab=readme-ov-file
I don’t care much about aesthetic and a similar interface for terminal/web seems like it would be useful.
That said, I fully agree that it’s daunting to have to deal with any existing ui. It’s really tiresome to jump through multiple hoops just to get/show info - even before trying to make it pretty.
