Humbly sharing my own project: Video Hub App which lets you browse your videos in an elegant infinite scroll gallery with various ways of searching, filtering, and tagging. Only local - nothing goes online with my app.

https://videohubapp.com/ and it's open source: https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App


Looks nice. Does this allow the export of the organizational and meta data?


The "hub" or database / save file has extension `.vha2` but it's a simple text JSON with this format:

Cool. Why not an embedded player, it would make browsing much faster than opening opening up the default system player?


Variety of reasons, not all fitting everyone. For my preference I like the minimalist MPC-BE interface at full screen on a separate monitor; others might prefer GridPlayer or something else. I feel like external player gives everyone the customization they prefer.

Embedded player would require making a tremendous number of design options: where does it reside in the interface, what does it cover up when open? and if it can pop out as a separate window, what value does it bring over an external player?

Thank you for sharing, GRACE-FO feels to me like a brilliant design!



Awesome! I'm curious if you considered Hugo and if yes, why you preferred to build your own Go website generator :)


I considered Hugo, but I wanted to do my own thing mainly because I'm very fussy about the raw HTML in my site, i.e. I want to use semantic HTML5 tags as much as possible. I haven't used Hugo though so I could not say how good or bad it is.


Aiming to have a small-feature release of my Video Hub App this summer:

If you have videos you want to browse, preview, search, tag, sort, etc on your computer, my software might be great for you :)

And the biggest contribution to plastic in the oceans is fishing nets. We all ought to do our part and buy less fish.


Maybe related, a book Varieties of Spiritual Experience by David B. Yaden and Andrew Newberg - the title pays homage to William James, considered the father of American psychology and author of The Varieties of Religious Experience.

Soon I'll be making a 2-piece footrest (imagine a T shape up-side-down leaning towards you - giving lower leg and foot sole complete support). A friend said it was a very comfortable (and instantly customizable due to tilt angle) design.

I've been a web dev for 8 years but my heart is in woodworking for the next many years :)
