First of all: thanks for taking care of the iDevices-crowd with Jellyfin. It's, in my opinion, the best way to consume my media and I've fiddled around with other solutions a lot.
However, I have a question regarding Swiftfin and Jellyfin. As I understand, Swiftfin is a native Swift rewrite of Jellyfin that is lacking behind when it comes to functionality (updating metadata as an example). Is there a plan to merge Jellyfin into Swiftfin somewhere on the roadmap? I'd be absolutely fine if you could point me into a longread about the development of both apps as well, I'm kind of not able to find the right source it seems.
