I'm doing a streaming app by RN so what do you think about watcher counter when streaming? I want to track that on app caus I'm afraid that the server gonna lag whenever streaming start. And when I check in app, when the start signal from server come, the counter will be 1 only caus it write to server as same time :( I'm so sorry about my English. Pls show me the light :v

This isn't much of a react native question, but ok :D. A watcher counter would only work for 1 user vs if you're intended on doing it clientside.

Have you considered using firebase for this? Sounds like a good usecase, plus internally it'd cache it for offline use.
