Reactive Television
summary
Company runs video frontend with React, React‑Native and GraphQL and claims one code to support all platforms while handling Apple TV, Android TV, Tizen, LG, Samsung and HbbTV (practical HbbTV support around 1.2). Built an InfinityList that streams program guide pages (about 180 channels with 30–40 days time‑shift) from Apollo fetchMore, keeps memory low and hits 60fps on old TVs; custom focus management exists and the approach proves usable in production.
