Going up against the *arrs is no small feat. What sets you apart?

First of all, I don't use any arr. From what I see the arr tools are used for obtaining media, less so presenting and providing a UI. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume that *arr tools and Media Hoarder might actually go well together.

Each project is separated in terms of the type of media they're used for (ex. Sonarr for TV, Radarr for Movies), but they share a common design language. They don't obtain media directly, but are commonly paired with Usenet/BitTorrent to obtain media. Aside from that, they allow similar functionality in terms of a pretty UI to organize and manage your collection. They have no playback functionality, though.

You should definitely look into them more because there's a huge overlap. Focus on what can set your project apart.
