Developer Launches YouTube Channel Surfing Web App
Steven Irby launched Channel Surfer, a web app that turns YouTube into a cable TV-style guide, letting users flip through about 40 curated channels and join videos mid-play. The site includes a 24-hour programming guide, subscription import (yielding roughly 175 channels and 25 playlists), and drew over 10,000 visits on its first day; it runs as a lightweight Next.js static site with real-time features.
