Created a Docker image
You can download and try for free: https://hub.docker.com/r/vinsdoe/mediachips/tagsOS/ARCH: linux/amd64I was unable to connect to it from another device. After reading the guides, I came to the conclusion that for this you need to run the container with certain parameters. That is, the reason is not in the application code or image.If anyone manages to set it up, please let me know.I don't know how popular this topic is for you, but I suspect...

As long as politics ...

Lifetime Activation Key for monthly subscribers ends in April
Starting April 1st, I am canceling the issuance of a lifetime key for new subscribers at the $2 and $3 support level.Those who signed up before April 1, including March 2022, will still receive a lifetime key if they sign up within 12 months.I decided to stop this because:1) there is no way to configure this system to automatically track the subscription, and the number of users is constantly changing. many sign up for a couple of months.2) I wil...

I am currently trying to migrate my filtering system to a new database.Unfortunately, I cannot please with new functions yet. But there are small ...
Simplifying the meta and moving towards a more minimal app design
Redesigned the meta list. Now there will be no division into complex and simple meta. Complex meta and simple meta with type "array" are now combined. I think you're already confused and that's why I decided to simplify the meta.And also the application will now be more minimalistic and not so full of colors. But you can still change the colors to your liking.This is just a small change along the way, transferring the database to ...
Database model with relationships between tables
I also want to show you what I have been working on most of the time and the design of the database is not finished yet.The dark model is the project, and the white is the already used database. It looks pretty confusing.

Development news
I continue to migrate the database from lowDB to SQLite. Along with this, I am moving the application to the server.

First, a self-hosted version of the application will be made. Then support for pictures and other...
mediaChips added to Microsoft store
I want to share my news and thoughts with you.First, some good news: The app has been added to the Microsoft store.https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9NFFJ2PVXS6CThe Microsoft version does not have a parsing function for performers from adult sites. If you buy the application from the store, then I can send you a free key for the version from the official website of the application, which has all the functions.Also, unfortunately, it will never...

Storyboard view for videos and compact view for meta cards (switchable in the upper right corner). Filters by the number of views and the date of the last vie...
How would you feel about the application becoming closed source?
I ran into some difficulties submitting my app to the official stores.They don't like that the app contains links to adult sites.Closing the source code would probably solve this problem. Otherwise, I'll start creating a plugin for all functions that are related to the adult content.
Storyboard video cards and a compact view of meta items
Recently, I have been mainly working on adding the application to the Microsoft store and, apparently, work there for another week. Because I will have to isolate some of the features into separate free plugins. For legal reasons.I will try to make their use as convenient as possible. Most likely it will be something like download the archive, drop it into a folder, then press the button in the application. And that's all. Plugin code will al...
New verison available! mediaChips v0.10.6-beta Hotfix
Download from official siteHad to quickly release a new version of the app with hot fixes.The check for the need for migration was not working correctly, which is why the initial initialization of the application did not start some functions.Also, the meta card page did not open in some cases.I highly recommend upgrading to this version, because in version 0.10.5 the check for updates at startup does not work and it is likely that you will not so...

First steps towards adding images
I've added a new page called Files where you can view your local files.And of course you can view the images, because that's what this page was created for.To see it, you need to enable the "Show experimental features" option in the settings, on the application tab.So far this is slow, but I hope I can optimize it.You can try this in version 0.10.6 and newer. Make sure to enable experimental features in settings.I also added new s...
