Down to just 3 letters needed to connect to the local media server regardless of IP address. Unfortunately browsers give the scary self-signed certificate warning, but local-first focus is what my users want, and it's just a one time thing to accept

I'm coming for you Plex! You users will be mine 😈

I like it! The only thing that might bug me is it says 2 notifications, but I don't know which 2 of the 4 are unread. Otherwise it's nice, clean, and easy to understand

It's happening to us all 😅

What does light mode look like? I basically never use dark mode so hard for me to give a fair opinion

Yep, definitely learned this the hard way. Had been using tailwind 3.4 and bumping up to 4.1 was going to take more time than I wanted to spend on it. That being said I still really like tailwind from a writability standpoint. A lot less up front leg work

I'm sure some people consider it a form of isolationism. Removing access to the more beneficial public platforms :/

All pain points are definitely relevant in helping me keep what people actually care about in mind, so thank you so much!

If you're open to sharing, I'd love to know what specifically you liked in the old version and dislike in the new version so I can avoid making those mistakes haha

That is true, though plex is pretty closed source so best of luck making a custom front end that doesn't break. I'd probably go with making a Jellyfin client PWA if you want something that already has a server

OpenID4VP & MDoc just hit Safari in iOS 26. They are pretty good protocols for more privacy oriented sharing of limited personal information. And at least 10 states in the U.S. already created Digital IDs supporting them

I also don't like age verification* but let's at least do it intelligently

I stopped working with VR about 10 months ago, couldn't be happier haha

Apparently I've been living under a rock. When did TypeScript become so much more favored than JavaScript? I left Java-land to get away from strongly typed languages. And what the hell, we all left JSP pages and server-side rendering over a decade ago, and suddenly that's now the norm again?

I just started something along these lines last week if people are interested in joining! Trying to make something with the ease of use of Plex, but with the privacy of Jellyfin, and a PWA so I can skip supporting a whole extra codebase for mobile app support

I feel this. so. much. I've been tinkering with the idea of making my own version of Plex/Jellyfin that has Plex's ease of use but with Jellyfin's privacy orientation.

How do you like using Plex? Wish anything was different about it?

Are you adding metadata by hand?!

Do you still use plex, or just jellyfin now? How do you like jellyfin?

Plex is all over the place with their different apps too :/

It's a wrapper around the OpenID4VP and MDoc protocols, which are complex to say the least, but also handles the verification of the credential issuer as well so you know if the ID is real or not

GitHub - universal-verify/id-verifier: Library to simplify digital id verification Library to simplify digital id verification. Contribute to universal-verify/id-verifier development by creating an account on GitHub.

In light of the Tea app security disaster, I just wanted to share how ID verification SHOULD be done. Using digital credentials and selective disclosure (e.g. I only share that I'm over 21 to buy alcohol, not my whole ID).

Here's a library I made that simplifies it all: github.com/universal-ve...

International law is weird with age verification. Unless I misunderstand, the Paris court says they can't force age verification for EU websites until cleared by EU law, but fuck all for websites based outside of the EU? Essentially rules for thee but not for me is the vibe I'm getting?

That’s pretty funny that they use google tag manager yet advertise keeping identities private. Nothing says "privacy-first" like sending user data straight to google 🤷‍♂️

VR Vet Simulator? 👀
This was a fun setup to test my finger posing system on dynamic physics-based objects for Hand Physics Lab 🙌

Do you think your users would be interested in an openbrush -> hosted 3D website pipeline? It’s something I’d be interested in doing a proof of concept for if so

I’m going to have to respectfully disagree on the first Pac-Man world take. Loved that game growing up

Is this different from the senate hearing I thought was going to happen in December?

A quick and dirty example of an indirect transform system that uses the drag gesture and a mode to switch between movement, rotation, and scaling.

Thanks!
