  I'm wondering how come there is no ads? Why would YouTube allow this type of embedded player?

  Love 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. Sanctum : https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sanctum-its-time-to...

  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 :)

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

        This 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)

      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..."

    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

  Yup, exactly what I wanted as soon as I saw Hackertube

  Well done, love it. It, somehow, reminded me of this Show HN from two years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41247023

  Does Youtube try to block third-party front-ends, or no?

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

  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!

  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...

  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.
