To respect my folder structure and still have nice covers and playlists... - and playing all the usual formats… I use JRiver Media Center (99$) and FlacBox (iOS and MacOS).
And then there is Sheep It Render Farm. You donate render power when you don’t need your PC. Earn points for that. Then consume those point when you utilize 20++ parallel render pipelines from other peoples PCs when you want to render your stuff.
Yeah, no offline mode yet, but we're planing to open source the core SQLite to GraphQL engine underlying Airsequel. Then you could simply have the SQLite database and the GraphQL API server offline and connect the sheet music app to that!
LogSeq has suffered a lot, imo, since they took venture funding. Their focus has wavered drastically since then, shipping features nobody is asking for that I can only assume are viewed to be differentiating for other PKMs (e.g., canvas) vs making the thing performant, improving the wretched UI, fixing bugs, etc.
Obsidian may not be open source, but it reflects a sane approach to product: small, focused team, profitable company, delivering useful stuff. Clean and tight. It's got a different set of abstractions at its core (document model vs block model) but if you're indifferent to that, Obsidian is where I'd start.

If you’re fine with MongoDB in the backend.
Then you get a lot of speed in development and same language in backend and frontend. Plus view live updates on all connected clients as data changes in backend. And hot Code push to clients if new build on server available.

For Geo-Location, maybe consider this workflow: User searches City in the iPhone Maps App (by Apple), then clicks "Share" button, then "Copy to Clipboard" - thenpaste this location into your app, you grab Longitude & Latitude from that and let users specify a radius. Bam! Complicated.... But no network needed.
But your workflow is such a hassle that I doubt many people would do it. A more realistic flow (without the list of places above) would be to show an image of the world map, allow the user to zoom in, and let them drop a pin on the map. They can drop a pin near some pixels labeled Paris, but the app doesn't need to know that it's Paris, it just needs to translate the pixel coordinates of the pin (relative to the image) to geographical coordinates, and look for images close to these coordinates.
Potentially the app could link out to a hosted webpage that allows selecting a location using a decent map and search UI, with network capability (but without requiring it in app)
Then on selecting a location you present a button that then jumps you back into the app via a universal link (passing in lon/lat)
Thanks, this is awesome. Colorized a few last images of my WWII grandfather who died in this war.
One observation: on download the MIME type seems to by PNG format, but the binary file arriving is actually a (lossy compressed) JPEG.
But anyhow! Great work!!
