ruTorrent is the most popular web interface for rTorrent, which is possibly the most used BitTorrent client in Linux. It is mostly a web application, but it has its own backend that connects to rtorrent. You could connect to rtorrent directly as well, but by doing that you would be missing lots of features that come with rutorrent, for example RSS support.
Yes, there are two things with almost the same name. To summarize:
rTorrent => The BitTorrent client, a console-based tool that also has an API to interact with it. rutorrent => A web interface for rtorrent that uses that API. It also does other things, for example, it can download torrents from an RSS feed. You configure RSS feeds in rutorrent's web interface, but there's also a backend service (written in PHP) that is part of rutorrent to do the actual download.
ruTorrent Mobile is a project that started last year under the organisation CCExtractor Development and it's gone quite well, with the user base growing and a number of contributions being made by other developers. The aim of this project was to improve the overall architecture of the project with improved and in detail documentation, multiple environments for devugging and testing, implementing new features to the app and creating a release of the app.
- Implement Autodl-IRSSI notification stream access in the mobile application.
- Migrate complete codebase to Null Safety.
- Test coverage with Automatic Unit and Widget Testing.
- Implementation blogs explaining complex features in codebase added in Wiki.
- Add Analytics and Crashlytics to reduce errors and gain insights to improve user experience.
- V.1.0 Android release on Play Store.
- New release on Github with shout outs on social media.
All of the work done during GSoC was in the rutorrent-flutter repository.

I had an amazing summer working with the wonderful open source community of CCExtractor. Google Summer of Code took a lot of work and I enjoyed every bit of it. I want to thank my mentor and organization admin for believing in my potential and giving me this chance. GSoC is what made CCExtractor from just being an open source organization for me to becoming my second home. I genuinely want to stay connected in the future and provide value in all the ways I can whether that is contributions, mentorship or funding.
