While navigating through the app, please be aware that this is an old version, and you may encounter some non-working functionalities and minor bugs. And the automatic channel creation is also disabled because it uses a real Roku Devices in the server that automates the creation and it is not intended here.

Source Code
Dive into the fascinating world of coding as I open the doors to the lower echelons of JavaScript Source code and the brilliance of BrightScript that I'm eager to share. As you observe my source code structure it is focused on Readable, Manageable and Scalable approach - and that is me.
Note: Backend API Source Code is not included for sharing. But I created a library called CakeStrap which is embedded in the backend. This is a lower version and I no longer support. I switched to NodeJS and Java Springboot.
