Jellium Desktop launches as independent Jellyfin client

Jellium Desktop is an unofficial, Rust-based desktop client for Jellyfin that continues the development of the former official client under independent stewardship. The app integrates CEF and mpv to deliver a native, high-performance playback experience.

// ANALYSIS

Spinning out the official desktop client into an independent project under Jellium Desktop allows for faster iteration and decoupling from the official organization's release cycle.

–Built using Rust, CEF, and mpv for optimized rendering and playback.
–Maintained by a veteran Jellyfin contributor, ensuring codebase continuity.
–Simplifies third-party distribution via platforms like the Arch User Repository (AUR).

The Tokio team has released Topcoat, a batteries-included full-stack web framework that brings client-side reactivity to Rust without WebAssembly or complex JavaScript build chains.

Topcoat is a newly released, experimental web framework from the Tokio team designed to make full-stack web development in Rust highly productive. By utilizing a server-side rendering (SSR) model coupled with client-side reactive shard updates, Topcoat delivers dynamic client-side interactivity without requiring WebAssembly (Wasm) or separate frontend JavaScript build chains. It comes with "batteries-included" features such as default integration with the Toasty ORM and focuses on enabling teams to write their entire stack in a single language while maintaining high performance.
