Show HN: Multiplex – An App to Watch Torrents with Your Friends

8 points by pojntfx 2 years ago · 1 comment · 1 min read

Hey HN! I just released Multiplex, an app to watch torrents together. It provides an experience similar to Apple's SharePlay and Amazon's Prime Video Watch Party, except for any torrent instead of a specific streaming service, and uses WebRTC to synchronize playback positions between the people watching without requiring a central server. It's written in Go and allows the use of a central HTTP to BitTorrent gateway[1] if a viewer can't use the BitTorrent protocol on their own device.

I'd love to get your feedback :)
