Hey everyone! Kobylab has a brand-new home at kobylab.dev, with a bunch of new apps built over the last few weeks. Here's the full rundown of everything that's new.
🏠 The new home page
kobylab.dev is now the one place to start. When you open it you'll see:
- Who's watching on Jellyfin right now: what they're watching, which episode and how much is left
- Recently added: a scrolling ticker of the newest movies and episodes on Jellyfin. Click any poster to jump straight to it
- Recipe of the day from Kobylab Kitchen, and the best deal Deal Watcher has found
- Server stats: how hard the servers are working, and how full the storage is
- News: the latest patch notes, announcements, watch-time leaderboard and the next media vote
- Every app in one place, sorted into Everyday, Watch & listen, and Gaming
- App status: if an app stops responding it gets marked on the page, so you know it's not just you
🆕 New apps
⚔️ Delve — game.kobylab.dev
Our own co-op dungeon crawler, made here at kobylab. It's free and runs in your browser, with no download. Make an account and pick a hero.
- Up to 8 players. Share your room code or invite link and friends drop straight into your run.
- Four classes: Warrior (tank), Cleric (healer), Rogue (mobile damage) and Mage (burst damage). Each one branches into subclasses like Guardian, Berserker, Assassin, Ranger, Necromancer and more, 10 in all.
- Six worlds: The Hollow Spire, The Sunken Crypts, The Cinder Wastes, The Obsidian Maw, The Drowned Sanctum and The Veil of Ash, each with its own World Boss. After that, Endless mode keeps scaling.
- How a run works: stock up at the Hub, step through the portal and clear three levels per world, with treasure and elite rooms hidden off the main path. Beat the mini-boss, then the World Boss.
- Going down isn't the end: a teammate can revive you within 30 seconds. If the whole party falls, it's back to the Hub.
- Loot: everyone gets their own drops, so there's no fighting over loot. Gear comes in six rarities, Common through Mythic. Level up to 30, fill 10 gear slots, and earn titles and dyes.
- Daily and weekly challenges, plus leaderboards for the deepest dives and fastest clears.
The home page has a full Delve section explaining everything.
📹 Koby Clips — clips.kobylab.dev
Our own clip sharing. Upload a game clip and get a link that plays right inside Discord, with a proper preview.
📺 Watching — watch.kobylab.dev
A TV diary hooked up to Jellyfin. It keeps track of what you've watched, lets you rate episodes and whole seasons, and shows when your shows have new seasons coming.
💸 Deal Watcher — kobylab.dev/deals
Watches prices so you don't have to. It tracks price drops and restocks, including TVs, and flags when something hits its lowest price ever. The best current deal also shows on the home page.
📤 Koby Send — kobylab.dev/send
Send big files with a simple link, kind of like a private WeTransfer. Whoever gets the link can download the file.
🍳 Kobylab Kitchen — kobylab.dev/recipes
Our recipe collection. Every recipe has ingredients, steps and its own share link, and one gets picked as the recipe of the day on the home page.
🕹️ Game Tracker — tracker.kobylab.dev
Wins, losses, draws and streaks, now with a completely new look.
📰 The Hub is now part of the site
The old Hub site is gone. Everything it did now lives on kobylab.dev, in the same look as the rest of the site:
- Patch notes: kobylab.dev/patch-notes
- Announcements: kobylab.dev/announcements (you're reading one)
- Media vote: kobylab.dev/vote
- Watch-time leaderboard: on the home page
Old Hub links still work and take you to the right page. The leaderboard was stuck for a few weeks, but it's updating again.
🗳️ The monthly media vote
This finally works! Here's how it goes:
- On the first full week of each month, anything nobody has watched in the last 30+ days goes up for a vote. New stuff gets 30 days before it can show up.
- Log in with Discord at kobylab.dev/vote. You need to be in our Discord server to vote.
- Vote on each title: 👍 Want to watch or ▶️ Watching keeps it, and 👎 Never says you'll never get to it.
- Voting closes Friday. Anything with keep votes stays, and a tie keeps it too. If you watch something during vote week, that saves it automatically.
- Anything nobody wants to keep goes on a removal list. Nothing gets deleted without a final look first.
The results get posted in Discord, and kept titles skip the next month's vote. The first vote opens November 2.
🧹 Library cleanup
- I cleared out shows and movies nobody was watching, freeing more than 1.6 TB for things people actually watch.
- I stopped automatic downloads of whole series. That's why random shows like Suits, The Blacklist and Chicago Fire kept showing up.
- Want something? Request it in Jellyseerr, same as always.
🤖 JewBot has commands
Type these in any channel in the server:
/watching: who's watching what on Jellyfin right now, and what was just added/vote: what's up in the media vote and when it closes/leaderboard: this week's watch time/news: the latest patch notes, announcement and changelog
📋 Changelog
Every change to the site is logged at kobylab.dev/changelog, and the latest ones show on the home page, so you can always see what's new.
