Author here, this is a fun surprise to wake up to! I was doubting whether my project was "ready to post on HN" but someone beat me to it.

With Superstreamer, I'd like to create building blocks that simplify video end-to-end. While I initially wrote it as an "all-in-one" toolkit, I'm more leaning towards an open architecture. Like, you could use Stitcher to insert HLS interstitials (like ads, or bumpers) but have your original playlists come from Mux, Cloudflare Stream, etc... The transcode and package infrastructure is there for you to use it if you'd like to stick to a fully self hostable solution.

As for player, it's a neat facade around HLS.js (kudos to the maintainers, their project is great), while initially a streaming library, the facade exposes an interface that makes sense for UI developers.

Happy to answer any questions you have.
