PDFkit is one of the oldest and most well-established PDF libraries in the JavaScript ecosystem; it is still well-maintained, and regularly updated. This library is a popular option for creating and manipulating PDF documents in a server-side environment, typically using Node.js. It allows you to programmatically generate PDF files by defining each page's content, layout, and formatting.

When I used a Chromecast, I was fond of an even more direct method. I used a Node CLI called "peerflix" [0] to stream a video file while downloading its torrent (so there wasn't even a need to wait). Then I just opened my browser to the local network address where peerflix was hosting the h264 playlist, and used the Cast button to stream it to my device (which I believe technically means Chromecast "takes over" downloading the playlist, rather than my laptop pushing the video to it, so I just needed to use a URL with the LAN IP of my computer).
At some point I also used a tool to stream to the Chromecast directly from the CLI (castnow?) - or maybe Peerflix even had this option, I can't remember. Nowadays I prefer to watch content on my phone in bed, which is why I like Jellyfin, because the iOS client can easily stream a video I downloaded onto my computer.

Inspired by the popular Coinb.in open source wallet and powered by bitcoinjs-lib, my hot wallet is designed to provide a secure and easy-to-use experience while also adding unique features that make it stand out from the competition. It will be installable (PWA) and very easy to use (BEGINNER FRIENDLY). I'm also going to make it open source. Other cool features like an HD wallet option with auto-change address after every transaction, increasing security and anonymity, are on the roadmap.

I think gittorrent was the right name for the concept, really, hard to beat that. But that one withered on the vine: https://github.com/cjb/GitTorrent
