Introduction to KizunaShelf: A shelf for everything you love
Summary
The article introduces KizunaShelf, a self-hosted, markdown-based media shelf that replaces scattered apps with a owner-controlled database. It covers the design philosophy, cross-platform engineering approach (Tauri desktop, native mobile via SwiftUI, OpenAPI-driven clients), and the use of a YAML schema to define data types and relationships. It emphasizes a files-over-apps, local-first approach and integration with external metadata providers.
