Jellify (verb) - to make gelatinous
A music player for Jellyfin built with React Native.
Background
I wanted to create a music app that could handle extremely large music libraries (i.e., 100K+ songs) and not get bogged down. I wanted to avoid syncing the database to the device when the library changes, and instead opt for a heavily cached persistence layer instead. I discovered Tanstack Query and combined it with React Native MMKV and the rest was history!
This app was designed with me and my dad in mind, since I wanted to give him a sleek, one stop shop for live recordings of bands he likes (read: the Grateful Dead), with a UI that he'd find instantly familiar and useful. CarPlay / Android Auto support is also a must for him.
Designed to be lightweight and scalable, Jellify caters to those who want a music player experience similar to what's provided by music streaming services.
Features
Current
- Available via Private Testflight
- Home screen access to previously played tracks, artists, and your playlists
- Full Last.FM Plugin support

This is undoubtedly a passion project of mine, and I've learned a lot from working on it (and the many failed attempts before it). I hope you enjoy using it! Feature requests and bug reports are welcome :)
