New Web UI - Complete rewrite with React

Post by fcsonline »

Hi all!

I’m glad to announce that a friend of mine (@edulan) and I have been working on a complete rewrite of Transmission web interface.

Our current goal is to present this project to the community to be evaluated. We decided to respect the original interface as much as possible so as not to impact the end users in the case that this code were considered for inclusion in the main Transmission repository.

Source code: https://github.com/fcsonline/react-transmission

If you want to read more about the thought processes that went into it’s development and the benefits you can check out this blog post:

The new interface is built with:

- React
- Mobx
- CSS Modules

Here’s a small demo:

Also, a week ago we presented this new web client to a small meetup in our city (Barcelona)

We would greatly appreciate it if people could take a look on it and send us some feedback.

Thanks!

Same waste of screen estate, but at least it has some technological improvements.

The goal was to mimic the existing interface to just bump the technologic stack and then in the future, apply whatever interface change we want.

This looks cool, what's the status of getting this implemented in the main release?
