## What it is
A Node.js SDK for creating and publishing Stremio add-ons that provide catalogs, streams, subtitles, and metadata to the Stremio media center. It includes an addonBuilder, HTTP serving with CORS support, and publishing tools.

## Use cases
- build a stremio addon that serves video streams
- create custom catalogs for stremio
- publish an addon to the stremio community
- add subtitles to stremio content
- scaffold a new stremio addon project

## When to choose
- you want to extend the Stremio media center with custom content sources
- you need a simple Node.js framework for addon manifests, stream handlers, and HTTP serving
- you want built-in TypeScript types and CORS handling

## When to avoid
- you are building add-ons for other media centers like Kodi or Plex
- you need a general-purpose video streaming server unrelated to Stremio
- your project does not run on Node.js
