Cliparr – A personal media clipper for Plex/Jellyfin
Browser-based transcoding for Plex clips when server-side tools require ffmpeg CLI.
Create clips from media on your personal media server
Plex clipper that works, but ffmpeg scripts and existing plugins already do this.
Plex users who want to create shareable video clips

To be up-front, this is a vibe-coded project. I have been developing a large number of personal tools that I have had in my backlog for years, finally realized by vibe coding. That said, I have been a developer for somewhere around 20 years.
This is a simple Vite/React app with a tiny Node.js proxy for authenticating with Plex (and other media servers). Run the docker image on the same network as your Plex media server, load up the currently playing video file, and make your clip.

Plex alternative with anime parsing, but Jellyfin already dominates the self-hosted space.
IPTV proxy for Jellyfin when stream-url-fixers already exist.
Auto-generates React from Python MCP, but MCP frontend tooling is already maturing.
Ink over SSH is clever, but Charm's Wish (Go), Bubble Tea TUIs, and tctl already own this.
Client-side FFmpeg.wasm plus an embeddable React timeline editor is the project's practical win — you can transcribe with Google STT, edit captions in a timeline, and either export in-browser or push heavy renders to serverless MP4. It's clearly early-stage (some features and scalability docs are sparse), but the combination of canvas-based tools, caption automation, and a TypeScript SDK makes it a useful shortcut if you need to ship editing features fast.
