Project Status/Roadmap - Not abandoned, I'm just learning

[Atilil]

Hey everyone,

First, thank you!! The reception JellyTag got was way beyond what I expected, and that genuinely means a lot.

I want to be transparent: development is paused, but the project is not abandoned.

JellyTag is just a part of a personal learning journey. My initial goal was to learn Git and explore what vibe coding could do, and honestly, it was exciting to see how far AI-assisted development could take you. The plugin was born from a small, immediate need, and it grew from there.

But precisely because it found an audience, I don't want it to become yet another dead community plugin (at least not so early). So before pushing more features, I'm taking a step back to properly understand the codebase I shipped. I've never hidden the fact that most of it was vibe-coded, and while that was fun and surprisingly powerful, my goal now is to write code I actually understand, where AI acts as a reviewer, a test helper, and a suggestion tool, not the main author.

That's a philosophy I apply to everything I learn. It just got skipped here because Git was the real objective at the time.

I'll be back asap (I'm currently 100% focused on IaC learning, HCL/Ansible and refactoring my Homelab).

Thanks for your patience.

I've been waiting for a plugin like JellyTag for a while, so thank you for creating this! ❤️

I suggest that you split JellyTag and WatchSync into different repos, as they cover different use-cases

Thanks, that really means a lot! ❤️

They're in the same repo because they share a single manifest. Since the plugin system works with manifests that can list multiple plugins, it's easier to maintain this way (and because I have other plugin ideas for the future).
That said, later on, splitting could make sense. For now, the shared manifest approach works well. ^^

Any update on this? Currently there is only one reported bug that is keeping me from getting it and would love to have that resolved prior to downloading. Also this plug in shows a lot of promise!

so many month without a sign of life :/
since 17.2//20.02 - we are 12.09 - another thinking of asap

I hope the project is not dead as I couldn't find any other doing the same (jellytag - languages on the poster that works on the TV client to) :(

Hello,
It's not dead; I'm still on other personal/pro projects. I will come back to this; it's just a low-priority thing since it covers 100% of my use case, and it's still working after the last Jellyfin updates.
