A Jellyfin music client for Linux written in Rust and GTK:

https://github.com/Fingel/gelly

I thought it would be pretty simple, but here I am almost 6 months later still adding features. The positive feedback has been nice, though! People seem to appreciate (like I do) that its fast and doesn't use Electron or some other cross platform toolkit. Learning a lot.

It's not vibe coded. Sad that I have to make that qualification these days, but here we are.

Does GTK work for your use case therein? Does the documentation work for you?

This is pretty darn awesome. I haven’t checked it out yet, but I’m already psyched about it.

This is awesome, gonna check it out. Thanks! Helpful to look at a big rust project too as I’m learning rust.

Nice, thanks! I’ve been looking for a decent alternative to PlexAmp for Jellyfin.

curious about not vibe coded, is it because you wanted to learn? or some thing else as well?
