Show Notes
Channel Surfer is a new web app that lets you watch YouTube like old-school cable TV channel surfing. Created by London developer Steven Irby, it offers a retro TV guide interface with forty topic-based channels at launch, including news, politics, sports, lifestyle, music, and tech areas. The app pulls in videos from one hundred seventy-five YouTube channels and twenty-five music playlists, with videos playing mid-stream as you switch channels. A schedule shows upcoming content for the next twenty-four hours across all channels. The app was inspired by Irbys moms cable habit and the comfort of watching with others, with a small counter tracking live viewers. It launched with over ten thousand visits and plans to expand to TV platforms like Fire TV and Google TV.
