Show HN: PikaTorrent, a modern, multi-platform, open source BitTorrent app I find existing BitTorrent clients offer a rather old user interface, and it's hard to set up remote access, involving setting up a web server, a TLS certificate, domain name, configuring the router, etc... PikaTorrent tries to offer a modern and easy UI. It is available on desktop (Linux & Windows for now), mobile (Android for now), as CLI as an npm package, and even on the web (as a frontend for remote control). Thanks to WebRTC, one can link the mobile or web app with the desktop or CLI app. This way, it's possible to remotely manage torrents securely and without any complicated setup. From a technical point of view, the app is using Expo and Tamagui to target the web, desktop, and mobile (native), meanwhile libtransmission is used as the torrent engine. So we should expect the same level of performance as the Transmission client. PikaTorrent is open source, and I just released v0.3.0 to let potential users try it out and contribute to the bug/features list on GitHub: https://ift.tt/XNwLbAR . Thank you for your feedback. https://ift.tt/QVEbC7v July 15, 2023 at 11:20PM
