TV-first video platform tools

Create developer tools or templates for building living-room-optimized video apps. Streaming services and smart TV platforms need better frameworks for couch-friendly interfaces.

Why now

Smart TV adoption is growing, but most video apps are still mobile-first.

Who for
TV app developers
Business model
Pro features or support
Effort
A few months

TV interfaces require entirely different UX patterns than mobile or desktop, but many teams lack specialized tools.

Build a framework or component library for TV-optimized navigation, input handling, and performance tuning. Target RDK, webOS, or Android TV.

Streaming platforms and TV manufacturers would pay to accelerate development. Agencies building TV apps are another buyer.

Start with an open-source core for basic navigation, then monetize advanced features or support.

The risk is competing with platform-native SDKs or big players like BrightScript.
