It's really not hard though, it's just entering a domain name. If you pick a decent one, it can be very memorable.

All of my stuff is at "thing.domain.com." For Jellyfin, it's "media.mydomain.com." Nextcloud is "cloud.mydomain.com." Actual Budget is "budget.domain.com." Enter that, then you're good. Repeat on any device.

Is that really a barrier for people? Surely this is sufficient:

  1. Install Jellyfin app
  2. Enter domain.com
  3. Login

Do that once and you're good pretty much forever.

I've used the website, android app, and WebOS app, and they all work pretty similarly, not sure what's confusing there.

Is the Plex experience significantly different?
