I'd echo the sentiment that this is amazing, and that a TV guide would be awesome. I'd also suggest maybe adding the channel names (like the comment you posted here) to the app itself (although i think it's cool when it's unnamed and you get the old-school feeling of channels just being numbers). Also, I'd love to have permalinks for the channels. Not for the individual videos themselves, but just a link that when sh…

Thank you for the feedback, I'll see what I can do regarding the mono audio issue, and I'll try to add more features as soon as possible.

This hooked me right away! I wish it had pause though because I discovered a show I wanted to watch and had to work. :(

you can copy the video id (below the controls) and watch it later on youtube

- 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.

Well done. Do you've plans for further development to grow this?

Definitely yes! Will add more features very soon.

Yep this works really nicely, and psychologically it's somehow way more relaxing than having to curate what you watch I predict this appears as real youtube feature soon. Since it will also allow them to do a Spotify-style payola approach to scheduling.

well they already have youtube shorts, which is kinda similar.

I hate that if anytime I upload a short video it forces the video to YouTube shorts. Especially since I’m not making content for the public - it’s more a demo video or something to specifically send to a few people. As with so many services nowadays, I like the ability to use YouTube shorts when I want, but I hate that it’s forced upon us with no reasonable and consistent method to not use shorts at the users discretion.
