What I would like to see for vibe coded novelty apps that are not realistically going to see updates are the prompts-as-source. For instance, I one-shotted a Roku app to play the HackerTube listings, and it works good enough:
Build a sideloadable Roku channel/app for browsing and playing videos from
https://hackertube.org/. Inspect HackerTube's API or video pages and use Roku
BrightScript/SceneGraph. Deliver a complete zipped Roku channel with source,
setup instructions, and any necessary metadata/proxy details. Aim for Roku

I kept flipping channels until I got to a clip of Zuck in 2005 saying:
> "We're trying to figure out what to do with Apple. We're obviously sensitive to people's privacy."
Wow.

This did scratch a nostalgic itch honestly! Great execution of interluding into the middle of episodes as well to feel organic and live.

Nice. I like this. One minor usability issue I saw. In the guide, the channels start with the lowest on top and then go down to the higher ones. But the up and down arrows work the opposite way. For example, the down arrow moves me to a lower channel, which is the opposite direction of the guide. Maybe there is no elegant solution to this.

Oh damn this is much cooler than I expected! For some reason skimming through channels is more enjoyable than click a video I'd probably wouldn't click on
today at 3:26 AM
Okay, this is the best one I have seen. Thank you.

Love the multitude of ideas! Upvoted. I did repo’s a couple days ago:

It has some cool stuff if you click around some. Feedback very welcome!

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
yesterday at 9:56 PM
Here is one version someone already made: https://hnarcade.com/
yesterday at 11:18 PM
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)
today at 1:11 AM
Speaking of... I should of linked to the actual Show HN page instead: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46793693
yesterday at 8:41 PM
I can highly recommend the board game, not the programming language, Go.
yesterday at 8:51 PM
Someone made that already...... Was on Show HN last month.
today at 12:02 AM
All Zachtronics games
yesterday at 9:27 PM
HackerSentiment, which tracks current sentiment of the frontpage of HN, coming soon, which will show total ambivalence to AI.
yesterday at 10:16 PM
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..."
yesterday at 10:43 PM
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 wondering how come there is no ads? Why would YouTube allow this type of embedded player?
today at 2:32 AM
Google runs on ads. Ads need data. Embeds give data.
today at 2:00 AM
Creator here - thankful and appreciative of all the positive comments. I hope people enjoy!
today at 3:25 AM
Very cool! I love the effort to give it a personality.
today at 4:02 AM
Thanks!
yesterday at 11:51 PM
Does Youtube try to block third-party front-ends, or no?
today at 3:18 AM
I would like to get this up and running on my Roku, does anyone know how I could manage that?
today at 4:23 AM
can you add a Micheal Levin channel, no 42 :)
yesterday at 11:30 PM
Well done, love it. It, somehow, reminded me of this Show HN from two years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41247023
yesterday at 10:23 PM
This reminds me of https://spelunkr.tv/, except without the 90s channel guide. That effort is using Internet Archive videos to populate channels.
yesterday at 10:51 PM
This is amazing!
today at 12:10 AM
Yup, exactly what I wanted as soon as I saw Hackertube
yesterday at 10:11 PM
A version of this that's only live videos would be cool.
yesterday at 9:54 PM
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!
yesterday at 11:33 PM
Haha this is so well done! Love it!
yesterday at 10:04 PM
I love the skeumorphism you put on it!
yesterday at 11:39 PM
Finally a competitor
yesterday at 9:39 PM
I found it a very cool concept
yesterday at 11:18 PM
Very well done.
yesterday at 9:48 PM
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...
yesterday at 10:20 PM
Now turn the comments into an MST3K style overlay
yesterday at 9:13 PM
Hah, nice
yesterday at 8:38 PM
Now we need HackerRadio to run in the background.
yesterday at 9:11 PM
It's on channel 24.
yesterday at 9:50 PM
I was expecting talk radio, but I'm enjoying the music too!
today at 1:38 AM
now i need a apple tv app for this
today at 3:20 AM
Oh my god yes please! YouTube is a bad time waster for me. That would at least ensure a level of quality
yesterday at 9:29 PM
No channel ⁶ ⁷ highly disappointed
yesterday at 11:04 PM
now we just need this on Google TV!
yesterday at 11:38 PM
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.
today at 4:22 AM
No doubt. I just checked my bookmarks and removed tons of bloat.

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