Thanks to the declarative API, Smelter is quick to pick up for anyone familiar with web development. Which means you can customize it in no time.
Tech-stack flexibility
You can use Smelter with TypeScript (React), Elixir (Membrane Framework) or just HTTP API with any language. Also, you need no deep video expertise.
