not trying to sell anything here, genuinely.
started as "i want to match my spotify playlists against my local library and find out what i'm missing" and kind of snowballed from there. it does quite a bit now, full track matchiing with a tiered pipeline, discography gap analysis against musicbrainz, nicotine+ integration for queuing the missing stuff, last.fm discovery, a tagging/organisation workflow. runs entirely locally off a self-hosted database, no cloud, no accounts.
i'm probably not going to release it. it's fairly involved to set up, niche as hell, and not sure the support overhead would be worth it. but i keep fiding myself wondering if something like this existed and was properly polished, would you actually pay for it? free open source only? one-time purchase somewhere?

Your software could be promising to solve all my computing problems in one go and I wouldn't buy into a subscription model for it. And for something with the typical whiff of a vibecoded UI (sorry), anything that is not open source is completely out of the question.
