Show HN: HackerTV – HN's most-recommended Youtube videos as 24/7 TV channels
(hackertv.org)
What I would like to see for vibe coded novelty apps that are not realistically going to see updates are the prompts-as-source. For instance, I one-shotted a Roku app to play the HackerTube listings, and it works good enough:
reply Build a sideloadable Roku channel/app for browsing and playing videos from
https://hackertube.org/. Inspect HackerTube's API or video pages and use Roku
BrightScript/SceneGraph. Deliver a complete zipped Roku channel with source,
setup instructions, and any necessary metadata/proxy details. Aim for Roku
Developer Mode sideloading.can you add a Micheal Levin channel, no 42 :)
replyOkay, this is the best one I have seen. Thank you.
replyLove the multitude of ideas! Upvoted. I did repo’s a couple days ago:

It has some cool stuff if you click around some. Feedback very welcome!
Oh damn this is much cooler than I expected! For some reason skimming through channels is more enjoyable than click a video I'd probably wouldn't click on
replyLove it ! Thank you for creating this. I am in the process of minimizing my digital consumption and was looking for something like this to live like if it's the 70s. Shameless plug: i have two chrome plugins to reduce digital distractions if anyone is interested.

Is someone working on HackerTldr? Three sentences that describe the target page would save me a lot of time.
replyEdit: HackerTV looks great, well worth the click :)
I'm looking forward to hacker games personally. I'd love to see what games are commented on here, other than factorio
replyHere is one version someone already made: https://hnarcade.com/
replyThis is cool. It would be better if it linked to the hn comment/s and showed some gameplay on hover (also the splash page is unnecessary, ideally https://hnarcade.com/games/category/games should be the home page)
replySpeaking of... I should of linked to the actual Show HN page instead: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46793693
replyI can highly recommend the board game, not the programming language, Go.
replySomeone made that already...... Was on Show HN last month.
replyAll Zachtronics games
replyHackerSentiment, which tracks current sentiment of the frontpage of HN, coming soon, which will show total ambivalence to AI.
replyI've had the idea for years for a browser extension that showed positive/negative sentiment scores next to each post, based on comments. Mostly because often the top comment on posts are "ackchyually..."
replyyou don't need an app for that anymore
replyyour dot or muse will happily do it for you and in fact even send you a notification about it right on your phone
I would like to get this up and running on my Roku, does anyone know how I could manage that?
replyI'm wondering how come there is no ads? Why would YouTube allow this type of embedded player?
replyGoogle runs on ads. Ads need data. Embeds give data.
replyCreator here - thankful and appreciative of all the positive comments. I hope people enjoy!
replyVery cool! I love the effort to give it a personality.
replyThanks!
replyWell done, love it. It, somehow, reminded me of this Show HN from two years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41247023
replyYup, exactly what I wanted as soon as I saw Hackertube
replyThis reminds me of https://spelunkr.tv/, except without the 90s channel guide. That effort is using Internet Archive videos to populate channels.
replyThis is amazing!
replyDoes Youtube try to block third-party front-ends, or no?
replyA version of this that's only live videos would be cool.
replyThis one is the best of the bunch so far (I loved the books one, too, though!). This one has potential! May it never be vibe-abandoned!
replyHaha this is so well done! Love it!
replyI love the skeumorphism you put on it!
replyFinally a competitor
replyI found it a very cool concept
replyVery well done.
replyLove it, you missed a real opportunity with channel 42?
replyWe did a combo books/video HN remix a few days ago: https://vektormemory.com/blog/v2-0-4-hacker-news-books-video...
Now turn the comments into an MST3K style overlay
replyHah, nice
replyNow we need HackerRadio to run in the background.
replyIt's on channel 24.
replyI was expecting talk radio, but I'm enjoying the music too!
replynow i need a apple tv app for this
replyOh my god yes please! YouTube is a bad time waster for me. That would at least ensure a level of quality
replyNo channel ⁶ ⁷ highly disappointed
replynow we just need this on Google TV!
replyHistory channel (ch11) has Joe Rogan. Must be some kind of joke, but it's not a funny one.

replyI guarantee all these vibe coded hacker* sites will be abandoned in a few months. Easy to make, easy to get bored of maintaining and paying for.
replyGonna be a wasteland of vibe coded shit that meant nothing.
No doubt. I just checked my bookmarks and removed tons of bloat.
replyApps are just becoming content. Get your 15 seconds of engagement, and then move on to the next thing.
