[Feature] Support for other torrent clients? #39

I know that the app is called qbitcontrol but have you considered maybe rebranding and adding support for other clients? Ios lacks app to control torrent clients, i would love to use your app but i don't use qbittorrent. The only alternative to your app is barmagnet which does support other clients but it was last updated 5 years ago and it not really usable. I will understand it if you don't want to do it, and thanks in advance for the answer

Supporting different clients would be difficult, because they have different functionalities and APIs. What client would you like qBitControl to support?

Deluge, i understand it would be difficult at first to support other clients but i guess you could make library that would take apis of most popular clients and convert them to standardized functions. I know it likely will require refactoring most of your codebase and it's not something that can be done overnight but i think it would be beneficial because ios lacks apps like this, compared to android. I understand if it is not something you want to do but i just wanted to ask if it's something you would consider doing in the future?

It's not that I don't want to do it, but I have very limited time right now, because of work. I could consider it in the future when I have more time.
