Me too. It's a quality app, the only other open source keyboard that rivals it in my mind is Heliboard.

I'd argue that's just a license for 4+ users as the only differentiation is the dollar amount. In fact one of Alex Tran's comments in the github announcement was that they simply capped the price at $100 to keep it from getting too expensive for instances with many users. It's definitely licensing based on users, not servers.
I would be much more comfortable if their licensing language was centered on licensing a self-hosted server, not user amounts. Paying for individual users (IMO) is best done as a hosted service with a monthly fee. They're probably a ways from being able to implement that though.
EDIT: they've adjusted the language and integration of buying the Immich software. It's much clearer and balanced now. You can find the new info on their github announcements page, or likely in the notes of their next immich release.
ORIGINAL COMMENT
I was really looking forward to them opening a compensation option as I got in after they had taken down donation links, but this is all a bit weird. There is some good discussion happening on the github announcement page. I'll probably hold at version 1.108 for awhile until the dust settles.
I've gone through quite a few FUTO videos since they started sponsoring Immich, and it seems like the issue is that they are essentially an organization of engineers that don't have a strong background in the legalese of licensing (thus the lack of attention to the wording of the original FUTO temporary license). Their intentions and goals are solid from my perspective and the software they promote is fantastic, but it feels very much like an org run by idealistic engineers without much of a PR presence. The best PR they have is Louis Rossman, take that as you will 😄
All that being said, I have paid for a few of their other pieces of software that are single user. The part I'm not overly fond of is that it seems to be a payment for each individual user, and not a payment to be able to run the server itself. I'm sure there is rational behind it, but it just feels like this whole licensing element isn't fully baked yet.
Interesting, yeah I did see in the github issues that Jellyfin itself was a bit unpredictable in triggering the right information requests from the plugin and that it may suddenly start working just because Jellyfin finally fired off correctly. I guess I'll just be patient 😅
I haven't run in to any freezing issues either. It sounds like it might be a network issue, do you access the service over your local network or by external DNS?
Not to hijack your post, but do you use tubearchivist-jf-plugin for getting metadata in to jellyfin? I cannot seem to get that plugin to function on my set up for some reason which makes it very hard to view the tubearchivist library on jellyfin 😢
I'm on KDE 🥲 That Gnome app has been almost enough to get me to switch though. There's a few Gnome apps that KDE doesn't have a comparable parallel to.
I haven't heard of 2fas before, they seem pretty interesting. I'm inclined to keep my password and 2fa vaults out of the cloud (thus Aegis and Keepass) so I'm interested in how the browser extension syncs data with a phone. If it uses a shared network or ephemeral data transfers that would be pretty nice.
I have a few codes duplicated in my keepass vault for the services I log in to often on desktop. The autotype is super nice in those cases. Other than that I do generally prefer having a separation between password manager and 2fa data though. Probably only a theoretical safeguard in my case, but simple enough to keep in place for the time being.
I second that. It's been brutal trying to find a good FOSS 2FA app for desktop.
Whoops, didn't notice the /c this was posted to 🤦♂️
EDIT: realized this was for desktop, so removed the original list of mostly android apps. Here's my go to desktop apps:
Lollypop - music player
Invoiceninja - open source invoicing service
Meld - file/folder comparison
Librewolf - hardened Firefox
Joplin - notes
QEMU/Virt-Manager - virtualization for that one windows app you still need
KeepassXC - password management
Element-desktop - Matrix client
Gparted - no fuss partition management
Lutris - game launcher that works with epic games (among many others)
PDFarranger - best PDF management I've found on Linux
Soundconverter - easy to use file converter
Restic - backups
Fdupes - duplicate file finder
Freetube - privacy respecting YouTube client
Paperless-ngx - very well built electronic document storage. Must be run as a server.
I replied to a similar comment above ☝️. They call it a server license, but all the language surrounding it is centered on user counts. They are extremely generous giving the "unlimited trial period" with the high quality of Immich, but the way the licensing is being handled is just kind if confusing. At it's root, it's essentially just a request for people to pay for the service, but they've complicated it with the word choice.
