github says options for converters are still missing? i’d love to see shared settings for converters; like what do you in ffmpeg for best videoquality on mobile, what setting to create best avif or image compressions like tinypng.
If I had a nickel for every time someone has whined that you need to self host this, I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot but still noteworthy because this is literally a self-host community.
It’s nice there’s a front end for all these tools but I kinda don’t get why is everything “hosted”. This could have just been a desktop app. I guess it can be useful when you want to convert something on your phone but to me it just seems like unnecessary server maintenance burden.
I think that a good chunk of the selfhosted community is “sole IT guy at a tiny company”. This is great for that, since having to update desktop software in twenty places sucks.
It’s nice because I don’t have to install it. Now I can use it when I work, on my computer at home or when my dad calls me.
But there is also merit to using a desktop application.
