fun 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
I 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.
Nice! 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.
I 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 :(
Not 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.
very smooth on mobile. wish it had some soft sound effects to match the vibe
thought this was going to be about things like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_Broadcast_Broadband_TV (hypertext on tv)
if you go too deep it starts to blow up!

"it starts to", wut?, it actually looks reporting hyperlinking–URL issue, maybe recursion U.R.L. (within that U.R.I.)

Dang, 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.
maybe not as lucky in the case of tuvalu as it is estimated that the island is going to sink completely in a few decades
I don’t understand how that’s related
Fun fact: it's one of the tiny island's biggest exports
omg, 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 :)
make the internet weird again. 10/10 rating
<notes_emoji> Let’s go back to a website!
homestar runner just had a video on this :)
Yeah, I miss buttons and VFD displays.
Yeah, 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.

This is just beautiful artistry. I absolutely love it! Only thing missing is the click/clack sounds on those buttons
Unusable on Firefox sadly, was getting maybe 5 fps.
Weird enough it seems to work pretty well on Firefox mobile
Fine on my macOS Firefox.
Isn't that just WebKit?
No, macOS has real browsers, you're thinking of iOS.

And yet the word has a definition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext and is studied since decades in science, long predating the world wide Web.
Really cool. And no ads!
Changes channel faster than a modern tv

Also - amazing job with the design
This is so great. The design ethic is exquisite. Love it.
this is so cool
