Always wanted a mobile native app to manage Jellyfin? Discover JellyWatch - an Android app with "Arr" integration, real-time stats, and a killer "Watch Pass" feature.

Plex users have Plex Dash - a beautiful, native mobile app to see who is streaming, kill bandwidth-hogging streams, and check server health from anywhere. Jellyfin admins? We’ve been stuck trying to load the full web dashboard in a mobile browser, fumbling with a desktop web UI on a 6-inch screen just to kill a stuck transcode. There's also Tautulli which has had great adoption among Plex users.

Everything about this app (and the review and the website hosting the review) feels uncanny.

Lik wandering onto a movie set.

Interesting... I dunno exactly what you mean by that but I am looking to 'revamp' or 'facelift' the site soon so I am open to honest constructive feedback.

Wandering onto a movie set in a 'good way' or you mean it all feels 'staged' which gives you mixed feelings?

The goal of my site (ignoring this single post for a moment) is to provide comprehensive technical info for self-hosting & digital sovereignty. I got so sick of having to sift through 3-5 sources of into to get a little help getting something working, or only finding very basic use cases and topical level info. So, I figured I'd go deep on the things I cover and provide technical info on.

Please take a poke around and let me know via DMs, here or via email to joe@corelab.tech your feedback!

Not the original commenter, but it feels less like a review and more like a long sales pitch. Parts of it also read like LLM-generated text. Both don't make it feel all that trustworthy.
