I tried a bunch of stuff, so I think as a whole it is too much text and sections, but maybe we can cherry pick the sections we want on the frontpage.

Hey, thanks a lot! I like that very much! Should I try to put this somewhere for public reviewing? Markdown is nice, but the rendered page looks even better!

I'm still hesitant to show off LMS' UI with Material installed. While I'd admit it has become the de-facto standard GUI, the default is still "Default". Maybe this is worth a discussion?...

Yeah, and let's discuss this on the forums as there are more people there.

**Lyrion Music Server**, formerly known as Logitech Media Server (LMS) or SlimServer, is a mature, community-driven, open-source audio streaming platform. It acts as a central hub for your music, allowing you to stream your personal local music collection (MP3, FLAC, ALAC, DSD, etc.) alongside major internet streaming services to any room in your house.

For a LMS system, there will need to be server software running on a controlling computer or device. This provides connections, settings, and customizations to one or more music players. The peer user community is committed to developing the Lyrion software for a wide variety of common and easily obtained devices such as a Windows or Mac computer, tablets and phones, and Raspberry Pi. Because of its scalability, all of these services can be distributed across separate devices to support libraries of hundreds of thousands of tracks and numerous players distributing music throughout an entire house and even across multiple locations.
Unlike many modern alternatives, Lyrion is completely independent of any single hardware brand or cloud service. It is designed to be lightweight enough to run on a low-power Raspberry Pi, yet powerful enough to manage libraries containing hundreds of thousands of tracks on high-end servers or NAS devices.

"high-end servers" sounds a bit geeky. Nobody wants to run a server but geeks. I'd say "desktop class hardware" or similar would be good enough?

In the end, we are a bit of a geeky bunch, but I changed it ;)

Lyrion’s greatest asset is its community repository. Lyrion allows you to "bolt on" features to suit your specific needs:

* **Material Skin:** A modern, responsive web interface that transforms the look into a sleek, contemporary app experience.
* **Spotty:** Arguably the most robust Spotify integration for any music server, allowing full library integration.

I don't feel comfortable pushing Spotty too much any more. I might need to pull the plug at any time 😕. Let's make this "various major streaming services" or the like?

Oh, one more thing: do you run the dev server to review the changes? It's spitting out a series of new warnings. Could you please look into these, too?

Thanks for your review! Let's wait how the screenshot discussion pans out and if we can create better screenshots.

@terual - do you have access to the Actions in this repository?

https://github.com/LMS-Community/lms-community.github.io/actions/workflows/main.yml

This should allow you to deploy branches to https://preview.lyrion.org. If you click "Run Workflow" on the right hand side you should be able to input the branch name you want to deploy. Would that work?

One more thing: you might have to pull to your clone, as I've updated your branch with the latest changes from main.
