I like this. Might be a good contender for audiobookshelf. I like the simple design, I like the low level language. Only downside is low number of contributors but I've looked at the author and they look like a real decent person. They have a history of contributing to open source, which is a good sign.

Concerning audiobookshelf, I see it other way around, because I think audiobookshelf came after - so it's contender to audioserve. But it is definitely nice app. I tried and did like some things (especially turning books into HLS streams), however I ran into couple of issues, when trying:

- audiobookshelf requires some rules for directory structure (which caused that some subfolders from my collections were not loaded), audioserve serves any directory structure

- bigger collections - for collections with 10k audiobooks audiobookshelf was just too slow it went on for couple of hours loading before I kill it. Audioserve is able to handle within collections scan in tens of minutes.

Thanks for nice words, though I do suffer from above average affinity to beer (and Rust) I consider myself decent person.

As I'm using audioserve myself, I try to evolve it continuosly, however my view of good simple audiobooks streaming server might be quite optioned (prefer textual information to covers, strong preference of opus codec, etc.), but do not hesitate to share your experiences and ideas via issues on project.
