Nice!

It looks like you put a lot of work into this, what was the motivation behind this project? Did you not like the existing solutions available?

Thanks! It was initially created to be the backend for the next version of my other open source project - Presentator v3 (https://github.com/presentator/presentator).

You could read more at https://github.com/presentator/presentator/issues/183, but to summarize - I wanted something that could be self hosted with almost no additional setup and no dependency on 3rd party services.
