Or is CP acting a bit wonky today? Slow page loads. Stalling completely at times.
The beginning of the end...???

Ok for me as well.

No problems here, but been quite busy today so have only visited half-a-dozen times while waiting on builds/IIS Express launches. Seems normal...minus the ads which weirdly, I'm starting to miss...no revenue stream and it's just a matter of time. I understand your anxiety.

From time to time same problems here in germany.
Server or caching issues?

I've always had that problem here periodically. It usually rights itself after an hour or so though.

Just found this out today, Apparently Adobe was all like "hold my beer" when MS did Office Online and made a web version of Photoshop. I'm sure it's not as full-featured as the offline version, but still...
This screenshot is old (it's no longer in beta), but it'll give you the idea: clickety.

Priced attractively too! (Sarcasm intended)
Photoshop on the web is included in all Photoshop plans starting at US$22.99/mo.

I wish GIMP just ripped off PS's interface though... they did sorta, but made it worse in the process. But yeah, IMO the subscription thing both Adobe and MS does with Office is no bueno.

Yeah I don't do subscriptions. I have the last version of stand alone Photoshop and that's good enough for me, I rarely use it anyway. I can do most of my photo editing in Lightroom.

I see a big wave of "before vs after" comparisons of a lot of females or famous people incoming after the first leak of their servers...
We do not keep any copy of your pictures... HA! Explain me another joke, I already knew that.
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

However, we will extract all relevant features from your pictures, and use them as training data to our Photoshop AI.

For that reason, if you ever have a copy of Photoshop CS6 laying around... keep it. No subscription needed. But more important than that, if you don't need any AI stuff it still works great for image editing and it doesn't phone home all the time.

Same for Lightroom.
It cause an uproar when they changed the licensing model.
I hang on Lightroom Classic (or whatever it's called now).

It's usually not a matter of "can I do something?" (the answer is almost always yes, but you won't like the details), rather "how the hell do I accomplish this?"
I'm currently running into one such issue trying to avoid template creep, and I thought I had it, but no. I missed a detail.
Which I think I just solved while typing this. Edit: maybe. hmmm.
Such is the nature of this language. It's a giant puzzlebox. With C#, as often as not it's a matter of learning APIs.
With C++ it's usually a matter of learning to cajole the compiler to bend your source code the way you want it to.
It's uniquely challenging, not because of pointers or the usual footguns that people tend to complain about with the C family mid level languages, but because of template and all of the dynamics and paradigms that introduces into the language. It's really kind of amazing what you can do with it.

Has anyone done anything in Electron?

I have! Some of Electron is a pain, but it has allowed me to build my Password Manager (C'YaPass) and deploy it to both the *Windows app store[^] and the Snap Store[^] (Linux app store).
You can also get my app at my GitHub GitHub - raddevus/CYaPass-Electron: The official C'YaPass desktop app built on Electron (runs on Windows, Linux, Mac)[^]
Check out the readme at GitHub for how you can clone the repo and run it immediately.
Because of Electron, C'YaPass runs natively on every OS platform (well, the big three macOS, Windows, Linux).
You can get all of the install packages (for any OS) at my official CYaPass site (download landing page): C'YaPass: Forget All Your Passwords | Downloads[^]
(RPM, DEB, DMG (mac), AppImage (linux exe))
You can even try C'YaPass directly in your browser -- nothing to install: https://cyapass.com/js/cya.htm[^]
*My app is FOSS (Free Open Source Software) and links are to each app store.
Questions
That was a lot. Got any specific questions about what was difficult, annoying , etc. about ElectronJS? Happy to help.

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...

In case you change your mind on the "roll your own" project, give JellyFin a look. I recently switched to JellyFin after years of using Plex on a NAS. JellyFin is clean and fast with none of the bloat of Plex.

I'll look into it, but I'm not expecting it to do everything I want:
1) Scan the (desired) various online movie and tv show info sites to identify movies by filename, BUT...
1a) Allow me to *easily* pick from likely candidates when there are multiple possible matches (Kodi does not do this - at all)
1b) Not rescan files that have already been scanned and reset the movie it thinks the file represents
2) Play tv show episodes one after the other automatically
3) Reset the "viewed" status (Kodi doesn't allow this that I've found)
4) Allow me to add personal videos (Kodi allows this but it's VERY cumbersome, and extremely limited in scope and features)
5) I don't care about actors, studios, producers, ratings, or any of that crap, nor subtitles, add-ons, weather, live tv, or streaming services (I have a Roku for streaming).

Just got home to check your requests...
1) Yes
1a) Yes - From the web client, right click, select "Identify", type some criteria, select "Search" then choose from the results
1b) Yes - From the web client, right click, select "Edit Meta Data", click "Lock this item to prevent future changes"
2) Yes
3) Yes, they call it "Watched" and it's easily toggled.
4) Yes, personal videos should be placed in a separate "Home" folder. They don't get scanned for metadata
5) It's pretty clean but you'll need to judge for yourself

You could also do it in the new Photino.NET (see photino website[^]).
This allows you to build cross-platform apps (via HTML & JS) but then the backend is C# code (instead of NodeJS stuff).
I wrote up a complete article on this here at CP: Photino: Open Source, Cross-Platform, Desktop Note-Taking App, via .NET Core[^]
Photino offers smaller footprint than Electron & it runs on C# which makes me happy.
Plan on updating C'YaPass to Photino soo.
I really already did -- took the HTML, JS, CSS and pasted it into a Photino project and it wrapped it up with no problems. Pretty cool.
