pleNx — Plex client for Nintendo Switch
This feels like the exact kind of homebrew project people build because they actually needed it. Using the Switch as one travel device for games and offline Plex makes a lot of sense, especially when docked to a TV.
This feels like a Plex client and more like a statement that older hardware still has untapped potential. I love seeing developers extend the life of devices that most companies have already moved on from.
I find the technical achievement fascinating, but it also highlights how different users think. One person sees a hacked Switch and worries about complexity, while another sees a customizable device that can do far more than Nintendo intended.
