+## version 24.2-beta.0
 
-:tada: **audioMotion** now runs as a native app, thanks to Electron!
+> Updated source code is in the `dev` branch
 
-But fear not, it still also works as a [web app](webapp.md), using any web server or its own custom file server!
+A little over two years ago, I started working on turning audioMotion into a native application using **Electron**, but then I realized it
+would be a pain to keep up with the constant framework updates and huge dependency tree.
+
+Then, I wanted to believe **File System Access API** was gaining traction for wider browser adoption and thought it would be really cool
+to have an official audioMotion web app that everyone could use to play their own music without needing to download or install anything, while
+also being easier for me to maintain. So I began adding support for that too. Turns out, it's 2024 and this API is still supported by Chromium only.
+
+In the meantime, I've found out that some people were actually using audioMotion as a self-hosted web app and, since this is also how I use
+it myself on my old NAS, I wanted to keep the app working on any standard web server as well.
+
+**TL;DR -** audioMotion code is now more complex than ever, but lately I simply haven't had the time or energy to work on it as much as I'd
+like to, so I still don't have a stable version working 100% as I want.
+
+However, this version does have a lot of new cool features added since the last public release, and my wife and I have been using it at home,
+and she keeps telling me I need to publish it.
+
+So.. there you have it!
+
+**Check the new web app:**

++ Saving and loading playlists on File System API mode doesn't work yet;
++ Documentation isn't fully updated yet.
