HackerTV - 24/7 TV channels of HN's most-recommended YouTube videos
Show HN: HackerTV – HN's most-recommended Youtube videos as 24/7 TV channels
HackerTV turns Hacker News's most-recommended YouTube videos into always-on TV channels. Seeded from HackerTube and built on the open-index/hacker-news archive, it stays current by pulling new HN comments weekly via the HN Search API, filtering them in code, and labeling with Claude. Instead of endlessly scrolling, you can tune in and let curated tech talks, demos, and deep dives play like a real broadcast. It's a lean-back way to discover community-vetted content, with full source and pipeline available on GitHub.
It's like a TV guide for Hacker News: the community's best YouTube picks, playing 24/7.

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.

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 :)

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?
