JavaScript on Apple TV
summary
Demo shows JavaScript running on Apple TV via React Native with hot module reloading working on a real device, and basic UI built from View/ScrollView/Text/TextInput components. Apple TV forces focus-based input and remote swipe/press events, so a native scroller component handles the number picker; web-like code feels wrong until platform-specific components are swapped in. Typical project splits into 50% reuse, 35% npm imports, 15% library tweaks and 2% native work; a party-game prototype mostly works but had live-demo flakiness.
