Hello amazing devs πŸ‘‹

Firstly, thank you so much for this awesome library β€” react-tv-space-navigation is an essential tool for building TV-based interfaces and it's clear a lot of effort went into it. We really appreciate your work!

That said, I wanted to request a dedicated, beginner-friendly, and fully detailed documentation specifically for React Native usage.

πŸ’‘ The Challenge:

While trying to integrate this library into a React Native app, I found the current documentation a bit hard to follow. It's lacking step-by-step examples and detailed explanations β€” especially for those who are not familiar with TV navigation development.

πŸ™ What We’re Hoping For:

  • A clear and structured guide on how to set up and use this library in a React Native project.
  • Working code examples or even a small demo app.
  • Explanations of key concepts like Focusable, navigation behavior, focus loops, and how to handle focus between different screens/routes.
  • Tips or common patterns for focus handling in multi-screen apps.

Right now, the existing documentation feels too complex and assumes prior deep understanding. If it could be simplified and tailored to both beginners and advanced users, it would open up the library to a much wider community β€” and help more devs use it effectively for smart TV apps.

Again, thank you for this amazing project. Looking forward to seeing future updates and improvements!

Warm regards,
Mohd Ali
(React Native Developer & Big Fan of Your Work)
