  Floppy is a fork of Yamtrack that seems to have only recently gotten its own name. From the notes on that release (emphasis mine):

  I’m still not a professional developer; I’m an enthusiastic maintainer using AI coding tools to build the media tracker I want to use. Floppy is now a standalone project based on the incredible work of FuzzyGrim/Yamtrack, independently maintained and supported by @dannyvfilms. Yamtrack import and documented compatibility paths remain supported, but users install Floppy directly rather than treating an upstream container replacement as a migration plan.

  I use Yamtrack, it tells me which streaming provider has each tb show and it alerts me of new episodes. I like it

  Floppy seems like a fork with a major expansion of the code base, mostly AI?.

  I tried installing floppy. The comment about 420 000 lines of code different from yamtrack, and that it took a long time to load makes me wanna stay with yamtrack for now. we’ll see how the two develop over time

  I use it too. Used to use Trakt but that seems to go the enshittification route right now so I figured I might try yamtrack/floppy. Ended up using floppy cause it has file import from Trakt and not just the discontinued API.

  For me it’s just a handy way to keep track of what tv shows I’ve watched and which ones I still intend to watch.
