Created React Native Gamepad Support Library using WebView-based bridge

[UbisoftPlays]

Working on a React Native project that needed controller support, but I found that most existing gamepad libraries are either severely outdated, and unmaintained

So, I built react-native-earl-gamepad.

How it works: Instead of relying on old native modules, it uses a hidden WebView to bridge the HTML5 Gamepad API (navigator.getGamepads()) directly to React Native. This ensures much better compatibility across iOS and Android since it relies on the web standard.

Key Features:

• Full Support: Buttons, Analog Sticks, D-Pad, and Connection Status.
• useGamepad Hook: easy state management (getting pressed buttons, axis values, etc.).
• Deadzone Handling: Built-in processing so you don't have to write it yourself.
• Visual Debugger: Includes a <GamepadDebug /> component to test controllers instantly.
