Heya

I built StillOnAir, an app that turns YouTube into a lean-back, old-school linear TV experience.

Instead of choosing individual videos, you just press play and surf channels — like cable. Each channel is programmed into a continuous stream built from YouTube videos.

Right now there are ~30 live channels, including: • GameVerse (gaming) • Toontown (animation & cartoons) • Reelhouse (film & movie content) • Total Sports (sports highlights & talk) • And more across tech, entertainment, documentaries, sports etc.

The core idea: bring back a passive cable tv like watching experience, a sitting on the couch and tune in experience.

The added wrinkle is that anyone can create their own network. You can curate YouTube videos, schedule programming blocks, design a lineup, and air your own channel.

It’s essentially programmable internet TV built on top of YouTube — without hosting any video yourself.

Would love feedback if you decide to take it for a spin and happy to answer any technical questions as well.

Good work.

Would be great to see something based on vids sourced from HN.

Maybe import YT comments and make viewable in a toggle pane?
