The most amazing thing is that this was coded on the author’s phone, on the bus, with Termux, Tmux and Vim.

#12I like the idea of something like this with video transcoding (this just does audio). I dont need many of the features of Jellyfin, it'd just be nice to have a browser client for my video files though.

I also look for a sophisticated self hosted, open source transcoding solution as a web app, but in the mean time, the complete opposite: no bells and whistles, no config, no control except size: https://github.com/JMS1717/8mb.local
or do you mean a web based file manager / video gallery with transcoding capabilities?

#14i use copyparty on a home server, but the ui is really a pain to use (and ugly). it should be much more straightforward to copy/move/rename/delete files.

The UI is terrible but AI is pretty good at messing with browser.js and the css file. I'm personally running it with a fair few spacing and layout tweaks to make stuff less janky and space wasting in galleries since the default margins are huge. Petty sure the layout shift scroll position stuff is gigabroken as well.

#16I have been using copyparty since the last hn thread on it months ago. It is a masterpiece of "Just Works" Technology.
What are you using it for?

#17I tried it a few month ago. I wanted to move 2tb of different type of data from one pc to a server.
The upload of these files were horrendes, it was slow on computing something, it was slow in transfering and the ui sucked.
I enabled sshd and moved everything over with scp.
I loved the video, i hated my one time experience with it :|

Ah, a small correction regarding this... What I /meant/ to say in the video was that a lot of the INITIAL code was written this way, so the statement is mostly true for v0.2.3. Since then I've primarily been using vscodium (and recently zed) on my linux laptop, but I still tend to do quick prototyping on the phone when i get a bugreport or a sudden idea.
That part of the video was recorded at 3am as I just wanted to "get it done", which also explains the other mistakes (typos, phrasing). I tried to replace the audio-track of the video when i noticed the phonecoding part after uploading, but turns out that's not really possible, so I figured what's done is done, impractical as it is -- I've been trying to offer this correction when I see it come up.
So my workflow right now is mostly zed and pyright+black, and no AI/LLM except for localization of new strings to languages I don't speak.
