Show HN: GhostHub – Instant, zero-setup media server

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!

GhostHub hit 10K lines – now I'm burning out. What would you do?

I’ve been developing GhostHub, a swipe-based media server for personal libraries. It doesn’t need accounts or setup; just run it and share instantly. It has real-time viewing sync, anonymous chat, and automatic indexing with thumbnail previews. After recently releasing version 1.2, I planned to dive straight into more ambitious features like transcoding and a config server. But managing bandwidth optimization, Docker builds, UI/UX improvements, and backend refinements has started to become overwhelming for a solo developer. GhostHub is already at 10K+ lines of Python and JavaScript, excluding the front-end HTML and CSS, and it’s beginning to outgrow me. Every new feature demands a ton of testing, and I’m feeling the classic burnout creeping in. I’m curious how other solo or small-team devs manage this: - How do you balance delivering new

features with preventing burnout? - When do you decide to ship versus taking time to polish your code? - Do you continuously refactor, or save cleanup for later? Would appreciate hearing any experiences or advice from others who’ve tackled similar challenges. Github (For Context): https://github.com/BleedingXiko/GhostHub
