  • I can only really speak to your first point. When imported my existing library, I did it using Sonarr/Radarr as applicable. They have a manual import method, here’s a description of Sonarr’s.

    Unfortunately that’ll probably work best if they’re formatted in a way Sonarr can readily recognize, something like /Season ##/S##E## - .ext. It may take a little work to get there, I found a program called mmv which helps out a lot. It allows you to move files that match a pattern, capture parts of pattern, and use that captured part to name the output file. That allowed me for format entire seasons at a time, but that method does rely on most files having similar names to begin with.



  • I doubt Reddit builds a decent search engine, that doesn’t actually help them at all.
    If users can search, they find a previous post pertaining to what they want to see/know and they move on.
    If there’s no search, users can’t find old posts or comments so they make new posts about a previously posted topic and more comments are made as other users react. That’s more content, even if low quality from a user perspective, that shows engagement which can be sold to advertisers.

    That’s before considering the engineering effort it takes to make a good search engine, constantly fine tune that algorithm, and try to outpace those that are trying to game the search algorithm.









  • I’m not sure, that’s a question for the Dev.

    Some of the reason may be the hastle of rebranding, having two Openboards would be confusing so the fork would need to change names and icons and such. Some of it is also be this is for personal use, and we happen to find it, so they may not be interested in the expectation of maintaining it beyond their own useage. Some of it may be this is good enough, Openboard’s release cycle is pretty slow so the fork doesn’t need to be updated and released often, so an APK on Github downloaded twice a year is good enohgh for them.
