    A compilation.

    Does this integrate with emudeck somehow?

    Looks cool, bookmarket for later use !

    However, the GUI looks very Discordish and is probably inspired by it. I hope it only stays at that and won't put some shady privacy nightmare code into it !

    To me this looks nothing like Discord beyond having a compact sidebar... In fact, I would hope that Discord never inspires any software UI, because it really fucking sucks.

    It's probably not a good idea to infer how privacy friendly an open source software is, based on such a superficial visual similarity to a closed source proprietary product.

    I keep my ROMs in the RetroPie folder structure to access them over the network. Would this work with that?

    Wait, what does this actually do? It looks like it isn’t an emulator or a front end so….what’s it?

    It's basically a web frontend to allow you to manage, organize, and download roms that also has the ability to play roms for certain systems in the browser using Emulator.js. The idea is with this you have a self hosted repository of roms with nice box art and meta data that you can download to any device or optionally play in the cloud if you want as well. I installed it a few days ago and it's really slick! It didn't handle the metadata for every game perfect, but for what it is it shows a lot of promise.

    So it is Jellyfin for ROMs, just without the "player" part for all systems? That would be great!

    Do we know how it integrates the metadata? Basically, it should scrape & update the ROMs, i.e. the metadata remain with the ROM if it is moved to an non-android device. -- I am no specialist hence asking if anybody can help clarify this?

    Is there a Docker image? Cheers!
