Philosophy

The main goal of Seanime is to provide an all-in-one, easy-to-use alternative to traditional media servers like Plex and Jellyfin, designed specifically for anime and manga. Seanime eliminates the need for setting up and maintaining multiple tools and services (no need for organizing, renaming, setting up plugins, etc.). As someone who is new to the self-hosting world, I recognize the need for something that is user-friendly, feature-rich, and just works out of the box. Note that unlike other media servers, Seanime does not natively run on all clients that seasoned self-hosting enjoyers might be used to (dedicated apps etc.), and it might have some rough edges in some use cases.

Not planned

The following features are not planned due to complexity but might be considered with the help of contributors:

Support for other providers such as Trakt, SIMKL, etc.
Support for other media players
Dedicated clients (TV, mobile, etc.)
Support for other languages (internationalization)

Development and Build

Building from source is straightforward, you'll need Node.js and Go installed on your system. Development and testing might require additional configuration.
