Most devs check GitHub, Hacker News, DEV and Hugging Face out of habit. DEV·TV turns them into 10 live channels that play on their own, like TV. Glance, catch one story, get back to coding. Leave it on an office screen or a remote team's always-on tab and it becomes shared context: everyone sees what's rising, and anyone can point and ask "did you see this?" One HTML file: no backend, no login, no build step. Real source data, built-in reader, no AI summaries. Free and MIT-licensed.
My favorite way to use it: on a shared screen. Leave DEV·TV running on an office TV (or an always-on tab for a remote team) and it becomes ambient team awareness. People glance at it over coffee, it runs in the background all day, and in standup anyone can point at it and say "did anyone see this?" No shared Twitter lists, no newsletter everyone has to follow, no curation. It's one HTML file, so there's nothing to maintain.
@busmark_w_nika Hey Nika, mostly developer habits. I started with the tabs I kept opening myself (GitHub, Hacker News, DEV, Hugging Face), then added the stuff I was googling separately: framework releases, new papers, security vulnerabilities.
The other filter was technical. DEV·TV has no backend, so every source has to work straight from the browser with no API key. That ruled out a few I wanted, like Reddit, X and Product Hunt itself.
@busmark_w_nika :) :) That was one of my first thoughts. It would've been fun to launch a TV here with a Product Hunt channel on it, but unfortunately the API needs a private token that can't sit in browser code. If DEV·TV ever gets a backend, it's first on the list.

would love an apple dev channel in there. swift releases and app review guideline changes are the stuff i always hear about a week late
@jaewon_seo Love this feedback. Swift releases should be easy, since they're on GitHub like the other stacks in the Releases channel. App Review guideline changes are trickier: Apple posts them on its developer news page, and I'd need to check whether that can be read straight from the browser. Adding it to the list, thanks!

Love how DEV-TV reframes doomscrolling into a calm ambient glance, letting devs stay in the loop without ever leaving flow.
@ilko_kacharov Thanks Ilko, that's exactly what I was going for. I wanted something you look at for two seconds and go back to work, not another feed that pulls you in. Glad it came across that way.

According to what do you choose those resources?
