I used Plex for my home media for almost a year, then it stopped playing nice for reasons I gave up on diagnosing. While looking at alternatives, I found Jellyfin which is much more responsive, IMO, and the UI is much nicer as well.

It gets relegated to playing Fraggle Rock and Bluey on repeat for my kiddo these days, but I am absolutely in love with the software.

What are some other FOSS gems that are a better experience UX/UI-wise than their proprietary counterparts?

EDIT: Autocorrect turned something into “smaller” instead of what I meant it to be when I wrote this post, and I can’t remember what I meant for it to say so it got axed instead.

      Interesting. I hate Audible because it redirects you to the stupid embedded website for almost everything and tends to get effed up when listening with multiple devices.

        Audible isn’t perfect either, but for the library and listening part it’s better (for me, at least, but maybe I’m just too basic).

          I hate Audible’s library. I listen to series of books mostly and keeping them that way has been shoehorned in only recently with audible. What so you like more about the listening part?

            Well, that’s just not my use case, so I don’t have this problem.

            For me the playback just seems a bit more refined. Audiobookshelf is a bit buggy for me.
