Show HN: If YouTube had actual channels

Really cool with great execution.

Out of curiosity, I'd love to know more:

- how the backend look like?

- Are the channels are based on a static pool of videos by category?

- Is there a "schedule" for a channel or picked at random?

- 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.

I love that this is a small amount of plain html and js, as I think the instinct for a lot of folks these days in creating this would have been to invest a lot of time in using the frameworks du jour.

Two requests!

1. unique urls per channel so I can send it to a friend and say "check this out" 2. up + down keys for changing channels

Also really enjoyed it and echo these execution questions.
