Description
Plembfin is a local-first watch-state hub for Plex, Emby, Jellyfin and Trakt. Keep watched history, resume progress and rewatches canonical in SQLite, then sync each destination with an explainable activity ledger, targeted retries, backups and a private dashboard. Self-host it with Docker Compose and see every delivery reason instead of trusting a single sync status. Website: https://plembfin.com

Could you build this?
Partial The UI and local SQLite orchestrator are straightforward, but handling multi-way distributed media synchronization across heterogeneous proprietary APIs with conflict resolution and reliable schema mapping is non-trivial.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a containerized daemon (Go, Rust, or Python) with an append-only transaction ledger in SQLite, running background reconciliation workers. The primary complexity lies in reverse-engineering and handling edge cases across Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, and Trakt metadata identifiers (IMDb, TMDb, TVDb mappings) and resolving watch progress race conditions. Deep knowledge of media server API quirks, pagination, webhook lifecycles, and resilient sync protocols is essential.
