I haven't dived into the code, however due to this being a web based app, could this functionality be able to be accomplished via user agents? Or would a better alternative be to create wrapper apps for it, such as it seems some jellyfin clients have? (ie. SwiftFinn Jellyfin on Android)
I'm definitely interested on this implementation and may look further into it. Please update me if you have found a potentially good solution to this.

Swiftfin is not a web wrapper. It's native. Written in swift.
The most maintainable approach is web wrapper to avoid fragmentation of the code (..despite it not being as performant as a native app).
@JonathanLTurner03 Here's how I'd go about doing it in Android TV:
Other considerations
Description
If you fire up Jellyseerr through a Native WebView or a Webbrowser (since PWAs are not supported), in a Android TV device (like NVIDIA Shield), you'll quickly realize it's impossible to use it with a (arrow based) remote:
For context, most streaming devices don't have a cursor based remote (like TVs do) which means you have to scroll with arrow keys on the remote.
Desired Behavior
I like the idea of keeping Jellyseerr as a web app since this way it can be integrated into other apps (as a Native WebView). Perhaps this issue could be resolved by HTML tabIndex and CSS element selection highlight?
Additional Context
From hours of researching this topic, majority of users recommend to use Plex Discovery instead of Jellyfin + Jellyseerr (since you need a desktop or mobile phone to use Jellyseerr which isn't as intuitive as launching one app on your streaming device).
Support for arrow based navigation would most likely aid in resolving this fragmentation of the userbase.
