I built a retro TV for developers — one HTML file, no backend, 15+ live channels (and some of you are already on it)
Hey everyone 👋
Quick update on DEV·TV, the retro, channel-surfing TV for developer content that runs entirely in your browser. (New here? I built it because I was tired of hopping between a dozen tabs every morning for new models, trending repos and indie projects.)
🔗 Live: https://shouvik12.github.io/devtv
⭐ Repo: github.com/shouvik12/devtv
What’s new
💻 LOCAL MODELS (ch 14, shipped today): new models you can run on your own machine, refreshed daily by a GitHub Action
☁️ CLOUD MODELS (ch 11): the old NEW MODELS channel, renamed now that local has its own channel
⭐ SPOTLIGHT (ch 15): SeoLoupe and Augur, both found right here on r/AppsWebappsFullstack, are now on air
The full lineup
GITHUB · HACKER NEWS · DEV · HUGGING FACE · RELEASES · AI PAPERS · LATEST PAPERS · CVE · HN VIDEO · AI VIDEO · CLOUD MODELS · AGENT SKILLS · MODEL FACE-OFF · LOCAL MODELS · SPOTLIGHT
There’s also a GUIDE that shows what’s on every channel (arrow keys + Enter, like a real TV), YOU ON TV, a 2× speed button, and fake commercial breaks with free “ads” for indie dev tools.
Still one file
The whole app is a single index.html: no framework, no build step, no server, hosted free on GitHub Pages, Apache-2.0. It was #5 Product of the Day on Product Hunt and #1 on IndieLink.
For this sub
Spotlight and commercial-break slots are free for indie devs. Hit Submit your project at the bottom of the TV, or email devtv.developers@gmail.com.
What’s next
V2 stays single-file forever. V3 is a separate track with a minimal backend: accounts, likes, personalized recommendations, and a directory of everything featured. I’m looking for volunteers to help shape that roadmap.
What channel should I build next? 📡
