    GhostHub▲18

    I built GhostHub because I was tired of Plex/Jellyfin setups just to watch or share a few files. This lets you: - Run instantly (Python script, .exe, or Docker) - Browse media in a swipe-based UI (mobile + desktop) - Share online with built-in tunnel support (Cloudflare or Pinggy) - Set session passwords, live sync views, and even chat No logins. No setup. Just run it, point it to a folder, and go. Live demo (limited features): https://ghosthub.net Would love feedback, bug reports, or ideas!
