Haha, I built a super similar thing last year with even a super similar url ( https://lofi.chat )! https://lofi.chat/r/Hacker-news-310e9120 Good vibes only

Can nobody make posts anymore without someone else trying to self-promote?

Just sharing for the fun of it! This was just a fun weekend project from a year ago, and I found the similarities too funny to pass up.

It's all fun and games 'til you learn that YouTube's terms don't allow you to embed their player in any way that disables/hides their UI and logos. Source: A similar project I made like 8 years ago. Edit: But don't get me wrong, I like it nonetheless!

I guess that's when you double down and just scrape Invidious[1] for the audio files.

edit: The Firefox extension "Privacy Redirect"[2] also uses Invidious to automatically redirect all youtube links, and does similar things for pages like reddit and twitter to their respective "mirrors".

A chat makes things way more interesting, but we need to be able to browse for rooms too (as long as the room's creator want his room public)

Wow, I had no idea about Invidious. This perfectly solves my use case of needing a REST API to get MP3 urls for YouTube videos. I was looking into building or finding a REST API for youtube-dl, but this seems a lot easier.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Show hn posts are already self-promotion so isn't it reasonable for other people to also be able to promote similar things they've created?

I think there's a line where it stops being reasonable. If I know every comment on a Show HN is going to be blatant self promotion, I'm not going to view those posts even if the OP is interesting to me.

The site's artwork is amazing. Love the details. It seeems that the transition effect when changing channels is generated and genuine each time, instead of randomly selected from a library.
