I currently use Kodi (via LibreElec on a Raspberry Pi) for my home theater stuff, but recently, the thumb drive I run it from took a dump and I installed the latest version on a new drive, and some of the stuff I was using is broken (none of the broken stuff is add-on related) and the Kodi guys aren't responsive enough for my liking. For that reason, I'm thinking I want to roll my own app, and I don't want to learn python so I'm thinking Electron might be the answer.

I'm gonna need to run it on Windows (for development), and Linux for actual use, and I need to be able to use a database for the media. I already have a MariaDB database server stood up (Kodi is using it, but their database kinda sucks too, so I'm starting from scratch on that too).

I'm already doing React dev at work, so I'm reasonably familiar with that platform.

I'm only doing this for my own use, so distribution beyond that isn't really a primary consideration, but also isn't out of the question...
