What it is
HackerTV is a web page by Danny Salzman that turns YouTube videos recommended on Hacker News into a 24/7 TV. The site says the video catalog is filtered in code and labeled with Claude. An X user describes it as having no algorithm and no endless scrolling, with channels you flip through like a TV, and lists channels such as DEVTV, RETRO, SOLDER, music and Late Night. The video catalog comes from HackerTube's ODC-By data.
