manifesto
open formats only — if a format requires a license, we don't use it. attribution always, even when CC0 says we don't have to. deep links preferred — we point to the source, not a copy. no DRM, no paywalls, no tracking pixels in media. interoperable — export anything as .m3u, import anyone's .m3u. if you can play it in VLC, we support it.
