Re:Show HN: Kahawai – An open source, modular media system on Wednesday October 07, 2026 @04:57AM (#49990065)
Hi, maker of the android app here. Best way to install it right now is use Obtanium and put the github url for the app inside Obtanium to automatically receive updates. Since we are still actively in development i have not yet spent the time to get it in the google play store. Eventually it will be available there.

Made a small python script to fix the hyprland config for 0.48.0 since the breaking windowrule syntax change to windowrulev2.

I had a lot of windowrule lines in my config and could not be bothered fixing them manually. Hopefully someone else can benefit from my lazyness.

It's not meant to compete with anything. It was made to fit my needs to have a media viewer for local directories that does zero processing of the files.
