    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].
