This is a modern and fresh transmission client written in typescript, golang and socket.io as communication layer.
I have a raspberry with balenaOS installed in it. I started playing with it, installing some services like Plex and Samba to transfer files from my computer to the hard drive connected to the rpi.
I started downloading torrents from internet in my computer and then i would upload those files to my rpi using samba. Determined to don't deal again with this painful "flow", i installed transmission in my rpi and download directly to my external hard drive. It works perfectly but its interface it's a bit ugly.
Based on this brief summary, the motivation of this project are:
- Just for fun
- Improve my golang skills
- Offer a modern and fresh transmission client alternative to the community
If you are enjoying the experience with transmission like me, join to this project and let's improve it together.
