What I would like to see for vibe coded novelty apps that are not realistically going to see updates are the prompts-as-source. For instance, I one-shotted a Roku app to play the HackerTube listings, and it works good enough:
Build a sideloadable Roku channel/app for browsing and playing videos from
https://hackertube.org/. Inspect HackerTube's API or video pages and use Roku
BrightScript/SceneGraph. Deliver a complete zipped Roku channel with source,
setup instructions, and any necessary metadata/proxy details. Aim for Roku
Developer Mode sideloading.

Nice. I like this. One minor usability issue I saw. In the guide, the channels start with the lowest on top and then go down to the higher ones. But the up and down arrows work the opposite way. For example, the down arrow moves me to a lower channel, which is the opposite direction of the guide. Maybe there is no elegant solution to this.

Love the multitude of ideas! Upvoted. I did repo’s a couple days ago:
It has some cool stuff if you click around some. Feedback very welcome!

Oh damn this is much cooler than I expected! For some reason skimming through channels is more enjoyable than click a video I'd probably wouldn't click on

Love it ! Thank you for creating this. I am in the process of minimizing my digital consumption and was looking for something like this to live like if it's the 70s. Shameless plug: i have two chrome plugins to reduce digital distractions if anyone is interested.

This is cool. It would be better if it linked to the hn comment/s and showed some gameplay on hover (also the splash page is unnecessary, ideally https://hnarcade.com/games/category/games should be the home page)
I can highly recommend the board game, not the programming language, Go.

HackerSentiment, which tracks current sentiment of the frontpage of HN, coming soon, which will show total ambivalence to AI.

I've had the idea for years for a browser extension that showed positive/negative sentiment scores next to each post, based on comments. Mostly because often the top comment on posts are "ackchyually..."

you don't need an app for that anymore
your dot or muse will happily do it for you and in fact even send you a notification about it right on your phone

I'm wondering how come there is no ads? Why would YouTube allow this type of embedded player?

Google runs on ads. Ads need data. Embeds give data.

I would like to get this up and running on my Roku, does anyone know how I could manage that?

We did a combo books/video HN remix a few days ago: https://vektormemory.com/blog/v2-0-4-hacker-news-books-video...
Gonna be a wasteland of vibe coded shit that meant nothing.
