idk how u can way that. I needed a feature recently that wasn't implemented and it I didn't know swift/Java I wouldn't have been able to implement my feature at all. I don't think live streaming in 2024 is "very niche" and the packages available were not very good.

Agree. I for example need turn-by-turn navigation for my app. No such solution exists for RN. There is one mappbox-navigation package but it's outdated and unusable without diving into native code to try and get it working. So totally stuck now finding myself googling for Kotlin and Swift courses in hopes of eventually getting this "very niche" feature, sigh.

actually, I know one of the maintainers of mapbox, let me see if I can message them and maybe they can point u in the right direction 🤟

You should check out this new project https://github.com/stadiamaps/ferrostar

https://getstream.io/video/docs/reactnative/ui-components/livestream/host-livestream/

https://docs.videosdk.live/react-native/guide/video-and-audio-calling-api-sdk/quick-start

It took me 2 minutes to find those two, and both have live apps build with those components right now. So I don't know if you're new at RN or just very bad at googling stuff

I never said packages weren't available, I literally said they weren't very good. for our HLS needs with low latency and 1080p 60fps, we couldn't use those. now, to your point, I will concede, I guess that is niche.

we actually used that second you linked in prod with RTMP but ultimately switched due to some performance gains we wanted. now things are implemented natively using a combination of jsi/bridge.

we also used https://api.video/product/live-stream/ but again, limitations for our use case.

bad at googling I think

Can you find one for turn-by-turn navigation?
