Show HN: HackerTV – HN's most-recommended Youtube videos as 24/7 TV channels(hackertv.org)
I saw HackerTube (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50319510) a few days ago, the YouTube videos HN keeps recommending, pulled from 19 years of comments. It made me want to flip through them instead of picking, so I built a TV for it. I have Algo fatigue.

Each topic area is a channel (DEVTV, SOLDER, RETRO, ORBIT, ...), plus HN Prime (the top 400), a music channel, and Late Night on ch 99, which only broadcasts 11pm-5am your local time and shows color bars otherwise.

Similar to HackerTube it was built with Claude Code in a few hours.

All credit for the data goes to HackerTube. Happy to hear channel ideas.

Oh my god yes please! YouTube is a bad time waster for me. That would at least ensure a level of quality

History channel (ch11) has Joe Rogan. Must be some kind of joke, but it's not a funny one.

I 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.

Gonna be a wasteland of vibe coded shit that meant nothing.

Apps are just becoming content. Get your 15 seconds of engagement, and then move on to the next thing.

No doubt. I just checked my bookmarks and removed tons of bloat.
