A lot of credit for most FOSS software is the various libraries and programming languages they are built upon: I don't think you can take anything away from this project because of it. Indeed if you take the time to look into Peerflix's dependencies (https://github.com/mafintosh/peerflix/blob/master/package.json https://github.com/mafintosh/peerflix/blob/master/package.js...) you'll see that it, too, is based upon airplay-js, parse-torrent, torrent-stream, amongst others.
We're at a rather convenient point in time where building a program/app is an exercise in coming up with an idea, researching the alternative components it can be built out of and then spending the time getting them to play nicely together. I wouldn't underestimate the amount of work that entails.
- dkopi 11y agoGreat point. This is definitely nice work, and it looks like a great usage of existing tools. Did not intend to come off disregarding the effort.
