maestro-roku

A development platform for building roku channels in brighterscript.

Why maestro?

Maestro Makes roku development easier, especially for experienced software engineers from other platforms:

I believe that experienced developers from android, ios, c#, web, node, etc, should be able to be productive on a roku app in no more than a week, just as they would on any other platform. So I wrote maestro to make that possible.

Maestro is built to:

• Raise velocity
• Increase productivity
• Reduce learning
• Simply cross-skilling
• Make roku development more fun
• Produce roku apps that can be maintained by non roku developer
• Produce roku apps that can be unit tested easily
• Write code that can be tested and breakpoint debugged, outside of SG views (which are slow as hell, and prone to crashing when breakpoint debugging)

Quick start

COMING SOON: Separate sample project.

• Clone this repo
• npm install

NOTE: To debug with RALE, you need to use a specific version, as the RALETracker task in my project is locked at 2.1.7 - I have downloads of those versions here.
