I'm a big fan of stremio, just wondering if there's been development of an open source desktop app. I'd like to avoid the ads and the login component. https://blog.stremio.com/announcing-stremio-core-embracing-open-source-and-rust/

Ads?! On Stremio? Where did you find that?

There's a tiny ad banner that appears at the top of the discover page on Stremio, but it can easily be disabled by blocking Stremio's ad domain in the hosts file.

Uh, now that you mention it I think I've seen it.. but honestly I'd feel bad to block the little money they can get out of it..

Err, are you sure you didn’t find some dodgy non-official version of Stremio with ads embedded in the client?
