I rented a server from Digital Ocean, installed nginx and Go, and wrote a web server. No frameworks on the front or backend, just HTML, CSS, and a couple of small scripts. And I wrote my own authentication and admin pages to manage everything from the browser.

#752The hoped-for result is that you can run the tool on a directory and it will identify the files correctly and insert the metadata so that it is all consistent and correct. You can then copy the files to your favorite devices, and easily find what you want, make playlists easily, etc.
My current stage is researching the current tools, which are all (so far) partial solutions and IMHO cumbersome to use.

#759It's a nice mix of both online and offline work. Also, the community around here is mostly made up of various combinations of farmers, hippies, retirees, and permaculture folks. Everyone wants a decent internet connection, but no one really has the skills to do much about it. I've lived here a year now, so thought I'd give it a go.
It's a windy road. Actually, it all started out because I wanted to get fast internet for myself on my farm. Then I thought, "Hey, why not start a business?" Feature creep at its best.
