Show HN: Media Hoarder – media front end for data hoarders and movie lovers Here's a video showcasing Media Hoarder's features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGkU9e1l8HU As we're on hackernews I wouldn't go much into the features of Media Hoarder with this post (see the video above for that). I'd rather like to comment on the DX. I'm a long-time lurker here on HN and in 2019 I felt the urge to develop my own take on a media center application. Media Hoarder was already usable after a few days of development and after one year it had 90% of the features I wished for myself but was not exactly ready for a release to the public. So, for this project the last 10% took another two years :) During the development I read a lot about the "ship fast" mindset which I obviously did not adopt. I could never live with a publicly released version that does not completely show what I had in mind with the app. And yeah, currently my focus is not to get external feedback as fast as possible but to create and release a product as v1.0.0 that I envisioned and use myself. The tech-stack is: - Electron - Vue.js with Vuetify - SQLite this way the app runs on Win/Linux/Mac and can be entirely developed with web technologies - which to me is a great plus regarding development speed. Mind you, Media Hoarder is developed during the free-time of a father of two young kids :D Anyways, I'm really glad it's out there. Personally, I use it every day and I hope, some of you may find it useful or would like to contribute. Please feel free to discuss features, development and sideproject-y things, I'm really curious :) Media Hoarder Website: https://ift.tt/eGASzE1 Blog post "Why Media Hoarder?": https://ift.tt/JTedzyP GitHub project: https://ift.tt/gIvMaR6 cheers -- MK2k https://ift.tt/eGASzE1 September 23, 2022 at 03:20PM
