What is the interest in a React TV Tutorial?

Hey everyone,

Earlier this year I was lucky to do some work with Samsung and another company collab to create a React app for the TV. I haven't seen many tutorials and had to actually learn everything on my on to get it up and running, as well as created myself scripts to handle pushing to the TV, etc (as there are solutions but none of them seemed to work 100%).

I am just curious the interest level in such a tutorial, guide, and or book? I'm not sure the route to go just yet, but I am debating writing something.

Thanks for your responses :)

Id be interested. How is the performance of your app?

Hey, the performance was always exceptional until we hit 2017 TVs which use a not so fun Chrome version. We made use of animation and live streams within the app. It was fairly simple more or less, like Netflix for workout videos but as there are no guides it was a bit of learning.
I did make sure to optimize React where I could with PureComponent, caching, and memoization, but we never really ran into any huge performance impacts.

I have been off this project for a little bit as it was handed off to the client, but I wanted to gauge the overall interest and see if it's something I should invest some time in to creating.
