I'm working on a site (https://panoptic.live/) designed for watching multiple livestreams from different platforms at once.

You can drag and drop links from YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, or Kick.

You can watch multiple streams at once in a grid and/or navigate quickly and smoothly from one single stream to another.

You can add or remove streams, save mixes for later, and share mixes via URL.

It works best on a really big screen and it's decent on a laptop. Phones aren't really supported at this point. If you have a large, secondary monitor off to the side, that's ideal for passively viewing a lot of streams. Happy to answer any questions.

You can watch multiple videos at once in a wall-of-video grid and navigate quickly from one stream to another. It works best on a really big screen --phones aren't really supported.

So far, people seem to like it. I've made a lot of updates based on people's feedback since I announced it a few weeks ago.

I'm working on a site that lets you tile and watch multiple videos from different platforms all at once.

You can drag and drop links from YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, or Kick --and they show up in a grid.

You can reload or remove streams without refreshing, save mixes for later, and share them as links. It works best on a really big screen --phones aren't really supported and even notebooks are too small to get much benefit.

There's no backend, no login --everything runs in the browser.

Hi HN!This started as a weekend hack to tile a few YouTube streams on one screen. It’s since grown into a daily-use tool I now rely on.
