I just finished building a project I’ve been using daily on my phone, and figured I’d share. GhostHub is a local media browser you run on your PC, with a slick TikTok style swipe interface, real-time chat, and optional synced viewing between devices.

Key features: • Runs locally on your PC (Python or one-click Windows .exe) • Mobile first UI with swipe navigation for videos/images • Real-time chat and optional “watch party” style sync • Share securely using Cloudflare Tunnel (optional) • Lightweight, fast, and no accounts or tracking

It’s perfect for browsing personal collections from your phone. You just choose which folders to share, and GhostHub handles the rest. No media is stored in the cloud, your PC acts as the host.

Still a work in progress (v0.8), but fully usable. Looking for feedback, testers, or contributors if anyone’s interested. Here’s the repo:

Let me know what you think.
