  If it runs on my 8 GB laptop, it runs on yours: making Better-IPTV feel as fast as it looks

  Better-IPTV 3.0 made the app look modern. Every release since has been about making it feel that way on a nine-year-old laptop: a guide that stalled at 64 channels, an mpv regression on Windows, boot migrations that did nothing on every start, and a loading spinner that is now gone.

  My pull request sat ignored for a month. So I built my own IPTV player.

  How switching to Linux, finding a gap in the app ecosystem, and having a pull request go nowhere led me to build Better-IPTV: a cross-platform desktop player built with Rust and Tauri.
