Public server is going to be inactive/closed in 25th august for maintenance, that means you can't access your data on it before it's totally repaired.
I (the creator) recommend you to backup and export your data before that.
Another note: music streaming (the point of a music server) is like.. not working? that's why i am warning you this instead of pretending nothing wrong is happening and making you experience technical hiccups.
Starl is a free and open-source music client - no ads, no algorithms you don't control, no subscriptions. You own your music and your data. Also this is offline focused, so you can listen to your music without an internet connection smoothly.

Also, i added this thing in product hunt.. i donno what more to say..
Soon i will lauch a discord server for the community, to make it easier to talk to the community, share ideas, get help and even share your own music things!
Also because i want to stream the whole development process, it will be fun as heck!
I took inspiration from many music apps, their functions, designs and the way they tell their message.

My first taste of a free music client.
I still use it sometimes, i admire the work and dedication put into it. It's so simple. I love it.

I know it's my own project, but still, i tried to make it as different as possible from other apps, but if it wasn't for this little try, starl would't exist.
