Thanks @dnosk for the hunt !
TLDR: GoGoChan is your personalized TV. Create your own custom TV channels by grouping together multiple keywords or topics of interests.
I made this app because I found it inconvenient to always have to search and browse for new things to watch. I wanted something that would spoon feed me new content, just like good old television, but with a bit more intelligence and personalization.
This app saves me the troubles of:
- Manually browsing around / searching for new videos. All I have to do is define the keywords once.
- Switching between different topics / sources of content. Keyword could either be a topic, such as 'election 2016', or a source name, such as a specific Youtube channel ('TheYoungTurks' for example), and I could combine them any way I want.
- Filtering out bad videos.
- Remembering which videos I have seen and which ones I have not. The app always starts with the most recent videos that I have not yet seen, making it easy to stay up-to-date on things.
- Opening another app to see related social media posts. There's a backend bot that detects what a particular video is talking about, and find relevant tweets for that video. I can browse the tweets and open links (via an inline browser) simultaneously while I am watching.
