For anyone else wondering:

Navidrome is an open source web-based music collection server and streamer. It gives you freedom to listen to your music collection from any browser or mobile device. It's like your personal Spotify!

On the off chance that you truly don't understand:

The nice thing to do would be to accept the feedback and add a short description. It's confusing to others why you are staunchly opposed to performing that small courtesy, and instead jump to never posting here again.

Congrats on all the labor you saved.

If you think folks here are uniquely unreasonable you could try lemmy.world/c/selfhosted .

This link doesn't work for me. Do you have an alternative/original? I'd like to read some context and explanation.

Thanks!

What non-FOSS software have you been unable to quit?

For me, Google video search, Google books (Internet Archive is good, but doesn't always have the same stuff), Adobe InDesign (but in the process of learning LaTeX), and Typewise. As for the Google stuff, I liked Whoogle a lot, but almost all their instances seem to have been blocked or shut down. Also, apologies if this is...

Sublime Text, Google Photos, Google Maps (partially)

Some combination of things like performance, non distracting presentation, the minimap, multi cursor that works how I like, some plugins I like, no web browser, the way every open buffer is always safe and saved in some cache without necessarily saving to the edited file, the UX for split view across tabs, minimal fuss to get UI text and colors legible for my bad eyesight, etc.

Thanks, I have, but it's not a replacement for me. I'll try it again once a year though.

I'm not off Google Maps either, but the closest to replacing it for me is Organic Maps, FWIW.

I just grabbed it. The dash cam features might possibly be useful on a bike (?). But I tried and tried and couldn't find the magic zoom level for it to show me the name of the street I'm on, got frustrated, and uninstalled.

FWIW Statamic (like many sites) fails my basic "is everything on the main site legible for dark-mode preferring users?" test:

The main site isn't made with Statamic?

Anyway the docs pages fail in certain parts, too, anyway:

No. In addition to browsers' prefers-dark-mode setting, there is also the fallback foreground and background color choice, used whenever a website does not specify a foreground or background color. One common case is when viewing a plain unstyled site or txt file.

A dark-mode preferring user might choose for these fallbacks a light foreground and dark background. The problem is then that some designers will carelessly specify either the foreground or background color (and not both), assuming that their choice will happen to have good contrast with every user's browser preferences.

More low contrast examples from the Statamic docs:

Statamic search field

Statamic adspace

In Firefox's preferences page those settings are accessed with the "Manage Colors" button just below dark-mode selection, and look like this:

Firefox Preferences -- Manage Colors

Notice that I am not overriding any colors specified by the page.

I've never had a Statamic site myself, didn't know about it till this thread. I like site generators but don't want to invest energy in ones that don't handle colors very well. I don't want to have to override colors, either as a user or developer, though I often do. For a an SSG anyway I want to be able to trust the tool to handle legibility.

I'm also terrible with HTML and CSS.
