      7 [**Mabel**] is a fancy BitTorrent client for the terminal. Programmed in
      8 performant and memory-safe [Go], the TUI is the torrenting
      9 state-of-the-art on macOS and Linux (and anywhere UNIX-y).

     15 Keyboard-centric, terminal-based workflows provide developers with a
     16 sense of focus and control unparalleled by the GUI. In my personal use
     17 of such programs (like [NeoVim], [Amfora], and many others), I noticed a
     18 distinct lack of functional torrent clients: existing options were
     19 dated, spewed logs to `stdout`, and proved generally disappointing.
     20 Mabel modernizes torrenting from the command line.

     24 Mabel builds on the excellent work of many others in the open-source
     25 community, like [Charm] and [anacrolix]. It's the second public release
     26 of [SMMR Software], a collaboration between [FIGBERT] and [Jacob
     27 Neplokh].
