This will probably be the last release. I aint working on this project anymore.

Good learning experience on abusing AI to do work for me.

Learned a lot about project management.

Made my anime torrent search engine into a proper project. Check it out here.

It has a web interface. You can search torrents directly.

I made some changes to the kbarr code base too, mainly refactoring the structure. Moved to Docusaurus for documentation.

Need to make kbarr more modular and easier to maintain.

It uses nyaa.si as the source and is pretty fast.

Will be developing it as a standalone project.

Vibe coding is sometimes difficult, smh.

Significant amount of progess today.

Now can add anime, monitor episodes and seasons, and trigger downloads.

Have to work on identifying the correct torrent for a given episode, but the core flow is there.

Peak, got a nice system working. You can add an anime, it will search and download the best torrent.

If the torrent fails, then it researches and tries again.

However, sometimes it might not download the entire season but still mark as completed.

Need a system to check if all episodes are present in drive.

Insane progress. Cleaned UI. Moved back to REST from gRPC.

RCB won IPL 2026, not a good day.

Mantine is nice tho.

Current structure​

  • services/core handles the main API and frontend serving
  • services/downloader, services/indexer, and services/metadata are separate services for handling downloads, indexing, and metadata fetching respectively
  • All are docker containers managed by docker-compose

Wanted to learn Go.

I also liked vibe coding.

Also blog posts. Cringe
