    This reminds me of https://spelunkr.tv/, except without the 90s channel guide. That effort is using Internet Archive videos to populate channels.

    Is someone working on HackerTldr? Three sentences that describe the target page would save me a lot of time.

    Edit: HackerTV looks great, well worth the click :)

      you don't need an app for that anymore

      your dot or muse will happily do it for you and in fact even send you a notification about it right on your phone

      I'm looking forward to hacker games personally. I'd love to see what games are commented on here, other than factorio

        I can highly recommend the board game, not the programming language, Go.

      HackerSentiment, which tracks current sentiment of the frontpage of HN, coming soon, which will show total ambivalence to AI.

        I'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..."

    A version of this that's only live videos would be cool.

    This 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!

    Now turn the comments into an MST3K style overlay

    Love it, you missed a real opportunity with channel 42?

    We did a combo books/video HN remix a few days ago: https://vektormemory.com/blog/v2-0-4-hacker-news-books-video...

    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.

    Now we need HackerRadio to run in the background.

        I was expecting talk radio, but I'm enjoying the music too!
