Engineering case study / Electron + qBittorrent Web API
Qubit starts with qBittorrent's Web API and adds the server, path, content, and media context needed to operate it from one keyboard-friendly desktop workspace.

previewThis project sits at the other end of my consultancy spectrum: a focused desktop application built around an existing service boundary. The engineering work is making server state, transfer operations, content structure, and media context explicit in one workflow.
Keep per-server credentials, default save paths, categories, and local path mappings together. Move between a home machine, remote host, or media box while retaining the operational settings that shape each connection.
Manage start, stop, force start, recheck, reannounce, and removal from the live list. The detail panel adds general information, trackers, peers, and a navigable content tree with per-file priorities and download toggles.
Add a torrent from a file or magnet, catch duplicates by infohash, and optionally merge trackers. When content lands in a tagged Stash or Plex folder, Qubit can match it against the library and expose the relevant preview or playback controls.

qBittorrent's Web API remains the centre of the system. Qubit adds the operational context around it: connection settings, transfer state, content structure, path mappings, and media-aware controls in one desktop surface.
Delta-polled torrent data, sortable and resizable columns, folder grouping, and explicit per-row actions.
Sidecar screenshots, direct image previews, and in-app playback for content matched to Stash or Plex libraries.
Package Qubit for Windows with .torrent and magnet associations through the Default-Apps picker flow.
Current source release
This is a focused consultancy artefact: a small Windows desktop client that turns an existing qBittorrent service boundary into a more complete operator workflow. The repository package manifest identifies the current version as 1.0.0, with an x64 NSIS installer and an x64 ZIP archive configured through electron-builder.
