This is neat! Feels just like old cable, the static transitions being a good touch.

Goodness. I never realized how nostalgic it would feel to flip channels. Your project took me all the way back to being a kid in the 90s and clicking through channels on the TV…

this is phenomenal, i love it, it genuinely feels like flipping TV channels. really excellent work!

Are we going full circle from TV to streaming back to TV? Probably not, but I do really enjoy the discovery aspect as well as reducing the overwhelming options of streaming down…

This is great, really smooth

This is cool and really well done, I'm kinda blown away. Would love to hear from the creator on what inspired them and how they designed and made it retro yet also minimal and so…

Well done. My team built this at Disney six years ago when we were trying to solve content discovery problems. The problem with endless carousels of thumbnails is that it really…

This is something I always wonder... Something that I really miss from TV on internet content (YouTube, movie streamings and so on) is turn it on and watching what's being…

One thing about analog interfaces is that they are really in a way empowering to the User. Don't like what you're seeing? Just one button press or the turn of a tuner dial and…

The best part of this is the channel doesn't pause when you flip away from it. It is always "running" and if you flip away you will miss it. That builds in a FOMO trade-off which…

This hooked me right away! I wish it had pause though because I discovered a show I wanted to watch and had to work. :(

This blew my mind, it's such a different experience. Currently watching the music channel (8, The Lumineers - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)). Since the author is reading here,…

Awesome! But please remove the static fuzz it's really unpleasant.

This is great, but the static doesn't seem random? It just bugged me a tiny bit. Otherwise, I love this.

Need a larger "static" sprite so it's not obviously a sprite.

I'd echo the sentiment that this is amazing, and that a TV guide would be awesome. I'd also suggest maybe adding the channel names (like the comment you posted here) to the app…

This is perfect. Can it be customized (with custom channels and schedules)? I was looking for exactly this to control my (and my kid's) TV habbits. My TV is only for YouTube.…

I’d love something like this where I can configure channels to have podcasts, music, movies and it all streams to my tv. Is there something like this? I’ve heard of other users…

Now we need a TV Guide.

You should make the channels change the video they're playing on a schedule, and link to a tv guide listing that shows the schedule.

This is cool and really well done, I'm kinda blown away. Would love to hear from the creator on what inspired them and how they designed and made it retro yet also minimal and so…

I have an extra suggestion: Maybe some keyboard key mapping, like up/down for switching the channel. I'm imagining having this perma-running in a small PC connected to a TV and…

How do I disable the static effect between channel changes?

This is simply awesome, but apologies, I don't follow, what's the source for all the content?

This is awesome! How are the videos being chosen? Without any monetization, I guess we shouldn't expect anything more than a loop of the same videos, right?

It seems like random videos are being played from many years ago and/or getting live feeds of some stations. Does everyone get the same selection of channel feeds?

Is there an open source code repo for this?

This is super fun, but I hope the content creators are being compensated. Content creators work hard to produce this content under the assumption they will be paid for it (in one…

Just like https://80s.myretrotvs.com/

I worked at Pluto TV pre-launch, and YouTube "live" crammed into channels was basically our app, with a scheduler system that allowed us to also render a channel guide.
