Really cool with great execution.
Out of curiosity, I'd love to know more:
- how the backend look like?
- Are the channels are based on a static pool of videos by category?
- Is there a "schedule" for a channel or picked at random?
- There is no backend, just html, css, and js
- yes channels are based on categories(science, travel, documentaries, etc.)
- yes there is a schedule, each video is scheduled to play at a certain time, so everyone is watching the same exact thing.
I love that this is a small amount of plain html and js, as I think the instinct for a lot of folks these days in creating this would have been to invest a lot of time in using the frameworks du jour.
Two requests!
1. unique urls per channel so I can send it to a friend and say "check this out" 2. up + down keys for changing channels
Well done. Do you've plans for further development to grow this?
Definitely yes! Will add more features very soon.
Also really enjoyed it and echo these execution questions.
