## 🛠 How it works

The UI (this repo) is a React app, but the brains live in [stremio-core](https://github.com/Stremio/stremio-core) — Stremio's Rust engine compiled to WebAssembly and running in a Web Worker. The UI renders state, the core computes it. Playback goes through [stremio-video](https://github.com/Stremio/stremio-video), which picks the right player implementation for the environment.
