Democratizing live video with React
summary
Claims that a working in‑browser live stream can be built with React and Mux and that the barebones demo clocks in at less than 200 lines per front end and back end. Implements a Next.js frontend using MediaRecorder API and canvas overlays, a custom Node websocket server that pipes chunks through ffmpeg to Mux via RTMP. Notes reliability and quality tradeoffs versus OBS, and enumerates seven concrete considerations: bitrate, latency, cost, scaling, metrics, compatibility, accessibility.
