Again, if I am allowed to dream, we can have a community around the exchange of these list files.

That would be an amazing addition!
Well, this website is completely cloneable, the JS is non-minified, so adding in community lists is certainly possible. Maybe just a tool to create those lists collaboratively. Good idea!

The possibilities are endless. You can build a site that lets any user create their own personalized tv with content from any streaming provider that has an api. This can be done in a few hours literally. And you don't even have to host them since it's all client side javascript. Honestly if I weren't so busy with my own project I would consider contacting OP to see what we could do with this.
This makes me assume that it’s hand-made. If so, it’ll probably get 1 or 2 updates (if even that many) and then remain static as the creator loses interest. Wouldn’t be the first time.
