is anyone here interested in the BitTorrent protocol? I've studied it a fair bit and I have a prototype BitTorrent client that is occasionally able to actually download stuff. I'd love to talk about it.

@kalamatamari I've been working on it for years actually, but I've rewritten it like three times since it's also my test subject for various architectural techniques. Right now the app is very event-based, I've tried to split the code up into several standalone modules that all communicate over an event bus. I even wrote an event bus library that I'm using for this!

@cosmicrose wow that's rly impressive o.o i actually didn't know event bus was a thing so ive been wondering for a while if something like that exists! have u found ur app to work well with the BitTorrent protocol?

@kalamatamari heh it barely works. I’ve been able to download some things in the apps previous iterations but this one doesn’t really have enough of an interface to actually test yet.

@cosmicrose oh noooo! i hope it ends up working well when u get that set up 🤞🤞🤞✨
