🛠 How it works
The UI (this repo) is a React app, but the brains live in 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, which picks the right player implementation for the environment.
