LightningJS is a WebGL renderer for Television UIs developed and used by Comcast for apps like Peacock. SolidJS is a lightweight and highly performant reactive framework that supports custom renderers. Are these the perfect match? Chris Lorenzo, creator of SolidJS integration for Lightning 3, joins the stream today to talk about this powerful pair.
