How does it compare to jellyfin?
Dim and Jellyfin target similar users but with different goals.
Dim focuses on a sleek, local-first experience with a beautiful UI, Docker support, and hardware acceleration great for personal libraries without cloud or Plex-style features.Jellyfin is more mature and full-featured, with multi-user support, plugins, and apps across many platforms.
In short: Dim = simple & polished, Jellyfin = powerful & feature-rich.
This makes it sound like Jellyfin is everything Dim is plus a bunch of features, unless there’s something specific about “polish” here. I haven’t tried it so I don’t know - what do you mean by polish in this case, can you give an example?
