Android and web only for now. I do agree that Google tv/chromecast is extremely important. ios/ipad/tvos is even harder since it's 100$ a year for a dev account to push it to the apple store and I don't own an apple device to write the app.

I want to focus on features before writing more clients, I hope to write Chromecast support in less than 6 mounts and google tv in less than a year.

I'm sure there's enough interest on HN to cover the $100 for a dev account for you and maybe get you a reasonable device to test on from Swappa. Maybe setup a donation link for an iOS/tvOS app? I think iOS/tvOS app would really make usage increase dramatically. People generally aren't against paying for software that works and makes things easier. Plex has become bloated and over-featured. Infuse is ok, but not great when trying to watch remotely, even over TailScale.
I do agree about the value of tv/native apps but for now I have a tiny user base, we are only 20 on the discord. I think it's still too early to have any kind of financial support on the project.
