Not only is this a wonderful idea, the skeuomorphic design looks awesome and it works well on mobile. Wow!

Note also that the source can be found through the menu button, which leads to https://github.com/evadecker/hypertext.tv.

fun fact: .tv domain name represents the island of tuvalu in the pacific. everytime you register a domain name here, ICANN pays them an annual sum for upkeep

    Dang, what's next? .me being owned by Montenegro? .ai by Anguilla? .fm by Micronesia!?

    Jokes aside, every two-letter domain belongs to a "country" (using that term very broadly), some countries just got luckier than others.

Unusable on Firefox sadly, was getting maybe 5 fps.

Yeah, I miss buttons and VFD displays.

    I have an AVR and both it and its button is a pleasure to use. By comparison, the Apple TV is non existent physically and the remote is beautiful to look at and awful to use.

Nice! The word "hypertext" still evokes a sense of wonder and futurism to me, no matter how old the term is. I own hypertext.plus. Someday I'll have to make a list of all the active hypertext.* websites and register another one as a sort of meta-hypertext site listing them all.

Changes channel faster than a modern tv

I remember seeing similar idea in the past on HN - a website serving a few channels, that were the same for everyone browsing at the time. Is it a similar thing? It strikes some memories, but it's hazy for me :(

Also - amazing job with the design
