How big is this new product project scope?

If it's something that can be done relatively easily as a temporary contractor then I'd toss my name into the hat. Can't really commit to a long term employee thing as I gravitate towards the contractor / per job type way of engineering. Depending on what you want to build I may have a fair amount of the functions and code needed to help your project shift from idea to production.

1. You mentioning multiple frameworks trips me out, indicates that there have been many devs beforehand not focusing on a single unified framework build cycle.. but I've been doing JS half my life.
2. Literally wrote the manual for running the consensus node software back in the day.
3. No excuse for unclean /spaghetti code these days given auto formatting plugins
4. What if a man wanted to be paid in livestock or rare earth metals? (I jest)
   Also what is "proper var/const naming" exactly? camelCase or snake_case or..?

nginx sucks compared to caddy but yeah, some got experience with it.
No idea what peertube is, will have to check it out.
The "vaccines" were never likely in our best interest, big pharma and the feds are wildin'

Also have some experience with RTMP / Streaming protocols and whatnot.
