Show HN: PikaTorrent, a modern, multi-platform, open source BitTorrent app
Not sure who this is for? It looks like something made for casual users, but I'm not sure that they need a web UI for remote control or CLI.
More advanced users are very unlikely to use something with such UI. I can't imagine that it will be fun to use while having 10 torrents, let alone 250+.
Even Fragments[1], the GNOME Circle app for BitTorrent that targets casuals can fit more downloads in a single view.
And what's the point of the search bar? All it does is open a new tab and search "torrent " in either Google or DDG. I can do it myself. It's neither helping newbies nor advanced users.
Also the 1.7M package-lock.json[2] scares me, but so do most JavaScript projects. Do we really need that many JS libraries for a UI for a BitTorrent client?
In comparison, Transmission's web UI has a package.json that uses 354K[3].

Why bake libtransmission into the app instead of just using the transmission daemon's RPC?
What you've done actually makes it harder to use, because in order to configure any of transmission's settings (ports, connection/torrent connection limits, bandwith limits, etc) the user needs to dig around to find the transmission config folder and then manually edit JSON with a text editor - because your client doesn't expose any of transmissions numerous settings [1] to the user except for choosing the download folder.
I'm not sure why anyone would want to use this instead of Flood [2] or even old Transmission Web Control [3]

an unknown system crash (Fedora 37) - 'timed out waiting for device'; 'dependency failed'; 'detected aborted journal'; 'remounting filesystem read-only'
Note that I'm running merferfs 2.35.1 and Transmission daemon 4.0.2 (2a57b17031) (the latter was one release behind at the time of the error).
- Went just as smoothly as on the breezy wall hole OS

(The BitTorrent client is something I don't use. I do use a ~very old predecessor, uTorrent {v1.6.1}; I think BitTorrent is the current client born of it... long since bought-out. You should really be using qBitTorrent or even Transmission...

PeerJS alternatives for self-hosting?
It works great! By default it leverages public WebTorrent trackers to connect users, but you can also host your own with https://github.com/webtorrent/bittorrent-tracker.

aquatic_http is a BitTorrent over HTTP over TLS tracker and aquatic_ws is a WebTorrent over TLS tracker. I don't have full current benchmarks comparing them to other options, but in a previous one, aquatic_ws handily outperformed both wt-tracker and bittorrent-tracker.
