Playing with an idea of a next-gen self-hosted media server software, with rust, svelte and all the goodies.

But at my current knowledge and practical work, its like giving a chimpanzee a nuclear reactor schematic. But it's a passion project idea of mine, I really want it to become real one day. Personally, I feel like something much better can be made than current solutions.

I learned nothing. Most of this seems like common basic advice, wrapped up in AI written paragraphs...

Initially from the title, I thought it would be about brainstorming and launching a successful idea, and that sort of thing.

Yeah I think decentralization will be a stretch, especially at the beginning.

About the login, SSO is nice and it will probably be an option, but I heavily prefer good old email+password. It might be trickier, haven't explored SSO before.

The auth/central server will be open source of course, and I'm hoping I could get feedback/auditing that way if anything's wrong (even tho I feel like the process is simple with encryption libs and knowledge). At first it will be heavily experimental and will hold just dummy data and then gradually go from there if it works out.
