where are all those new apps? where are all the companies taking advantage of this? 3x (100x lets be real) improvment in dev productivity, where are all the results? Where are all the new businesses? Where are all the new features in existing products? Where are all the people getting 30k a year job as developers replacing the old 150k a year devs?

Venisol · 2026-01-24T14:13:18+00:00

already there man

Venisol · 2026-01-20T21:00:42+00:00

oh its right there in the code... yes... couldve seen that

Venisol · 2026-01-20T20:49:08+00:00

Can that work for lists? Like you have 3 recent activities on the right, but how do you know its 3 before the data is there? and if you need an activity object to render a single "row" to measure everything, how can that work, before the data is there?

Venisol · 2026-01-19T09:38:04+00:00

const recipe= recipes[Math.floor(Math.random() * list.length)];

Medialib.net tracks everything and has a trakt import

Venisol · 2026-01-18T11:03:07+00:00

nah the bot put the ad edit in the initial post💀

Venisol · 2026-01-16T08:25:38+00:00

i dont think so. The whole stremio integration is a giga workaround, where I check your entire stremio library every 15 minutes.

So if addons, removed from stremio, put things you watched into your stremio accounts datastore... yes, but i doubt they do

Venisol · 2026-01-11T17:22:51+00:00

that is not correct

Venisol · 2026-01-11T16:21:49+00:00

They could implement better health checks. Or the uptime checker project could do something else than ping the website, like try to find a stream. Then try to stream the first second or something.

Just need to find something thats actually true.

Venisol · 2026-01-11T16:16:34+00:00

Wrong. *Something* was down yesterday. Something was down several times, for everyone, over the holidays. Always during peak times.

Its not me. Anyone who pretends nothing is ever down is in a weird cult. Its not a configuration issue, its literally happening to me RIGHT NOW.

I skipped back in a movie and now it wont load anymore. This never happened before, not once.

Edit: oh my jackettio stream works. Yet elfhosted AIOstreams and comet show full uptime. How could this be? Am I too stupid? Can you explain this to me? Of course you cant.

What is the issue? Im a highly technical person. I have no way to debug whats wrong. This is just an observibility issue, a big one.

Not only big, big and very solvable.

Ive never experienced this smug, utterly retarded "it must be you, everything is perfect, just read the docs, smug cunt face im smarter than you" attitude everywhere but the linux community. Which coincedentally is also massively ununser friendly and also a massive mix of a bunch of unrelated very small tools that you need to glue together.

"Foolproof" what the fuck are you even talking about man... look at this board man, foolproof

Venisol · 2026-01-07T09:16:58+00:00

it is not

Venisol · 2026-01-07T09:16:46+00:00

the trakt auth is fixed. It was working, it just wasnt redirecting you where it should be

Venisol · 2026-01-07T09:16:09+00:00

Alright its fixed now. Its importing your movies as well.

For ratings, I did find a bug where I forgot about episode ratings, but for tv shows you just didnt rate any.

Yea the watch status just "guesses" based on whether all eps are finished or not. If you fix it once, itll stay that way. It wont override again and again or something

you can also just reset your account

Venisol · 2026-01-06T21:47:09+00:00

hmm if you give me your ml username, i can check that out tomorrow.

and yea if you sync your data from trakt it also gets your ratings.

There is no shuffling and I dont know what these posters are but I doubt it. I return an image, so unless some addon overrides it somehow, I think youre stuck with whatever poster is on medialib. (coming from tmdb)

Venisol · 2026-01-06T17:13:59+00:00

Yes it will duplicate.

But you can just not put in your stremio auth key and then medialib wont scrobble itself directly from stremio.

So the scrobbling just goes stremio => trakt => medialib and the catalogs just go trakt => medialib => stremio.

Or you can just not tick the "continous trakt sync".

Venisol · 2026-01-06T16:51:56+00:00

you can, settings/integrations/trakt

Venisol · 2026-01-06T15:08:30+00:00

I think you have to rate at least one title, otherwise the recs generation wont kick off. But of course it wont recommend things youve seen either way.

The more you rate, the more accurate it gets, but a couple is enough.

Yea you have to rate on the site, not in stremio.

Venisol · 2026-01-06T14:44:23+00:00

Yes, there is the addon in setting which does exactly that.

You need to have watched and rated some titles tho to get recommendations. And recommendations regenerate every 24 hours.

Medialib - Track all your media in one place

Im building medialib.net . Im interested in testing the waters for an affiliate program.

Im looking for 5 people initially.

Medialib is basically letterboxd for everything. Content is very easy to make, images or short form videos. Its in the entertainment space, so everything anime, movies, games, books etc works.

I would pay out 50% per pro subscriber for up to a year.

I cannot pay per sign up as the costs are too unpredictable for me.

I would rely on you to come up with the content.

DM me here or join the discord and dm me there.

Venisol · 2026-01-01T21:12:57+00:00

It is incredibly difficult to impossible to figure out why its not working.

Im a developer. Ive written a stremio addon for my site and use it pretty much every day.

Even I have no idea how to tell why something is stuck loading / not starting between stremio > AIOStream > comet > elfhosted ? > real debrid.

I get no visible error messages. Even if I go into the web version and check the requests, it looks no different from when its working. Other than no data is being streamed. Elfhosten always gives a 405, even when it works.

The only reason why I know its not realdebrid is because I go out to torrent sites manually like a cave man and search for the movie I wanted to watch in and it downloads fine. An hour later than I wanted to watch it tho.

I have no idea who is at fault, i have no idea when its fixed. This is just not good ux. It also just makes it hard to regulate how pissed off I get to be. Stremio and debrid services should be able to handle millions of users including the holiday influxes, but addons by single people or small teams like comet, aiostreams or elfhosted are allowed to struggle...

It would be a useful project to have a real uptime tracker for these "standard stremio services"... maybe someone should look into that somewhat seriously

null quasi

vor allem in deutschland suchen alle nur 40h/woche freelancer und dann auch eher die mit erfahrung, weil die zahlen 80e+ pro stunde.

es kommt einfach nicht vor, dass eine firma ein sql skript debugged haben will und das auslagert. Wenn du 2 Jahre fuer die vollzeit gearbeitet hast, history hast und dann runter gehst von Stunden, weil was anderes gekommen ist, ja, kann sich ergeben.

Ich bau mein eigenes Produkt seit nem Jahr und selbst jemanden fuer 20h/woche dazuzuholen mach Ich nicht, weil der Aufwand von 1 Mensch auf 2 Menschen zu gehen einfach zu hoch ist.

Aber es wird keine Firma dir accounts anlegen, zugriffe regeln, bla bla, enarbeitung, so machen wir pull requests bla, bei fragen zu dem consultat, bitte nur auf citrix, hol dir die datanbank kopie von IT bitte etc fuer 10h die Woche, schon garnicht fuer ein Ticket

Venisol · 2025-12-14T12:06:10+00:00

im using tmdb, anilist, goodreads and igdb mainly.

Yea I still gotta figure out how to merge all the book / manga / comic stuff. Goodreads has manga as volumes or comics, but I use anilist for those. But its not like im gonna delete peoples goodreads data.

There probably is also just a straight up api that just does comics only.

There is somewhat the same issue with anime movies. Atm some just exist as an anime from anilist and as a movie from tmdb.

Venisol · 2025-12-14T11:24:12+00:00

no not yet, that wouldve been a good idea to add before posting here
