Hypertext TV
- vijaybritto 1y agoThis is just beautiful artistry. I absolutely love it! Only thing missing is the click/clack sounds on those buttons
- sabslikesobs 1y agoNot only is this a wonderful idea, the skeuomorphic design looks awesome and it works well on mobile. Wow! Note also that the source can be found through the menu button, which leads to https://github.com/evadecker/hypertext.tv https://github.com/evadecker/hypertext.tv.
- nickthegreek 1y agovery smooth on mobile. wish it had some soft sound effects to match the vibe
- aiiizzz 1y agoVery laggy for me.
- medhir 1y agoomg, this was made at sfpc! spent some time there in 2016, love to see things being made there still. the crt shader aesthetic is really cool. will try and make a pr of my own sometime :)
- hcarvalhoalves 1y agoYeah, I miss buttons and VFD displays.
- skydhash 1y agoI have an AVR and both it and its button is a pleasure to use. By comparison, the Apple TV is non existent physically and the remote is beautiful to look at and awful to use.
- reaperducer 1y agoYeah, I miss buttons and VFD displays. I miss the clarity and aesthetics of VFDs, but I don't miss actual VFDs. My KitchenAid oven and microwave both have VFD displays. They have degraded to the point of being almost unusable in just eight years.
- simplecto 1y agomake the internet weird again. 10/10 rating
- jachee 1y ago<notes_emoji> Let’s go back to a website!
- spencerflem 1y agohomestar runner just had a video on this :)
- helaoban 1y agothis is so cool
- russellbeattie 1y agoNice! The word "hypertext" still evokes a sense of wonder and futurism to me, no matter how old the term is. I own hypertext.plus. Someday I'll have to make a list of all the active hypertext.* websites and register another one as a sort of meta-hypertext site listing them all.
- ktpsns 1y agoAnd yet the word has a definition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext and is studied since decades in science, long predating the world wide Web.
- vivzkestrel 1y agofun fact: .tv domain name represents the island of tuvalu in the pacific. everytime you register a domain name here, ICANN pays them an annual sum for upkeep
- immibis 1y agoFun fact: it's one of the tiny island's biggest exports
- input_sh 1y agoDang, what's next? .me being owned by Montenegro? .ai by Anguilla? .fm by Micronesia!? Jokes aside, every two-letter domain belongs to a "country" (using that term very broadly), some countries just got luckier than others.
- vivzkestrel 1y agomaybe not as lucky in the case of tuvalu as it is estimated that the island is going to sink completely in a few decades
- qqcqq 1y agoI don’t understand how that’s related
- vivzkestrel 1y agohe said "some countries just got luckier than the others"
- tkzed49 1y agoif you go too deep it starts to blow up! https://hypertext.tv/test/hypertext.tv/test/hypertext.tv/test/hypertext.tv/test/hypertext.tv/test/hypertext.tv/test/hypertext.tv https://hypertext.tv/test/hypertext.tv/test/hypertext.tv/tes...
- kaichanvong 1y ago"it starts to", wut?, it actually looks reporting hyperlinking–URL issue, maybe recursion U.R.L. (within that U.R.I.)
- dmje 1y agoThis is so great. The design ethic is exquisite. Love it.
- fouronnes3 1y agoChanges channel faster than a modern tv
- StefanBatory 1y agoI remember seeing similar idea in the past on HN - a website serving a few channels, that were the same for everyone browsing at the time. Is it a similar thing? It strikes some memories, but it's hazy for me :( Also - amazing job with the design
- zenkey 1y agoReally cool. And no ads!
- rchaud 1y ago"This is a startup opportunity" /s
- sabellito 1y agoUnusable on Firefox sadly, was getting maybe 5 fps.
- sabellito 1y agoIndeed when opening it in a fresh ff profile it loaded just fine. To redeem myself a bit, spent the last 20 min disabling extensions to find out the culprit, but even with all of them disabled it's still unusable on my default profile. Then spent some time in about:config (and the normal settings like hardware acceleration), but coulnd't find anything obvious.
- tyteen4a03 1y agoFine on my macOS Firefox.
- alternatex 1y agoIsn't that just WebKit?
- Kwpolska 1y agoNo, macOS has real browsers, you're thinking of iOS.
- rchaud 1y agoConfirmed, FF on MacOS Sonoma with all the usual extensions.
- Gualdrapo 1y agoWeird enough it seems to work pretty well on Firefox mobile
- lightlyused 1y agoFine here. FF on Linux
- 1317 1y agothought this was going to be about things like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_Broadcast_Broadband_TV https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_Broadcast_Broadband_TV (hypertext on tv)
- westurner 1y agoSame. Thanks; TIL about HbbTV: Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_Broadcast_Broadband_TV https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_Broadcast_Broadband_TV Had been wondering how to add a game clock below the TV that syncs acceptably; a third screen: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30890265 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30890265
