> Is there a reason to use Gonic instead of Navidrome?
Not really. Both are great! I moved to Gonic because it exposed full file paths which Navidrome didn't at the time, but it has since implemented that as well.
Gonic doesn't come with a front end so it's a bit lighter if that's something you care about.
River was really great even before this split, so I'm very excited to see what happens in the space in the future. I switched to Niri while waiting for it to happen, and I'll probably switch back at some point.
If you were an Xmonad user I feel pretty confident in saying River is the Wayland WM for you.
You could fit the most basic version of a spaced repetition program on the back of a napkin. Why would you want to vibe code yet another program lacking a bunch of useful features though?
AnkiHub people seem kind of slimy in my experience (at least their leader, "The AnKing"). I hope they figure out a good leadership situation, and make stronger commitments to openness.
Anki is in a very solid position to be forked if anything happens, so even if this is bad news I have faith in the larger community.
> you’re somehow entitled to more of his lifetime dedicated to the features important to you personally.
They never said this, only that developing a product to be used by a lot of people and completely disregarding a (arguably very common) use case is arrogant.
