I am thinking of adding a Windows application with an installer and a tray icon that you can use for some basic settings like changing port or password, or toggling automatic startup.

For linux, I am thinking of adding convenience helpers around systemd service installation

This is neat. The thing I would most want in the README is a benchmark section showing where it wins and where it does not. My guess is long GPU bound transcodes look great and tiny file churn workloads probably do not. Having that boundary spelled out would make adoption a lot easier.
