It’s nice but the UI could be prettier imo.

  What’s some specific elements of the UI you dislike and how would you improve it?

I can’t tell if this is actually a new project or if you forked, extended, and changed the license of an existing MPL 2.0 project. The latter would be a bad thing.

You have a commit titled “Full rewrite!!” but I’m not about to go do a comparison to see how “full” it is. If it is indeed a complete clean reimplementation then I would recommend making it a new project so it doesn’t look like you took someone’s FOSS code and relicensed it for yourself.

  Full rewrites do happen. The first commit of PiKVM is a copy of my repo. I was referenced there for a long time before eventually being removed, and I’m pretty sure by then my code had been fully rewritten.
  
  Though I did find it funny when LTT covered them and said they complained about a copycat who wasn’t giving them credit 😆

  This started as a fork but was fully rewritten from scratch. No code is used from the original repo, so I also chose to make the license more premissive.
  
  See this commit!
  
  You have some good points but if I made a new repo from scratch, it would break many links, including links in the add-on’s store page, the add-on itself and search engines. It would also kill every watcher/issue/PR etc so I don’t think it’s really a good idea.
  
  If you have a clean solution to solve this I’d love to hear it!

Is this like IDM?

  What’s IDM?

    After looking it up, yes it’s a bit like IDM but has less features (like it’s not separating which files are audio, video… yet?), however it’s available on mobile as well so there’s that
