Honey, I Shrunk The Vids is an overengineered oversimplified system-agnostic frontend for FFMPEG.
This is a followup to a post I made yesterday, about a silly little Windows application I’d made for batch transcoding files. I wanted something that I could just dump my files onto without having to muck about with Handbrake or Tdarr - post here, for those curious: https://piefed.ca/c/selfhosted/p/568748/honey-i-shrunk-the-vids-a-windows-transcoding-frontend-for-ffmpeg
So I spent today making my silly little Windows application a silly little platform-agnostic application. I rewrote the whole thing in Rust and JavaScript with a webview frontend, and apparently Github lets you compile binaries for quite the range of target platforms, so I have compiled binaries available for Windows, Linux, and Mac (Intel/Apple Silicon). I’m pretty pleased with how it’s coming along - if anyone decides to give it a go, please let me know if you find issues!

It’s fine, this is healthy discourse we all need to move forward. If we kick out all the vibe coders instead of discussing with them, we will never get them to adhere to any kind of pattern of behaviour.
