React.tv (Now LIVE)
https://www.react.tv lets you turn the internet into your own TV Channel. Sign ups are now open!
My hope is to offer alternative tools to the current paradigm of "swiping" through feeds and receiving content you never asked for.
Generate a weeks worth of 24/7 media content by creating schedules of playlists from YouTube and Twitch sources.
* Avoid the swamp of algorithms.
* Sync YouTube playlist to their official source to always get the latest media from the sources you prefer.
* All content is curated by users like you. Discover new media by watching channels which have similar content.
* Watch passively or sync a queue of videos
* Toggle on "Watch Party Mode" to instantly turn that same channel into a synced queue to watch with your friends or online community.
* Receive and vote on media requests from viewers.
* Ethically React to content on your livestream
* All your channel views carry over to their source video.
* Viewers have access to accessibility features for the active media, such as closed captions and volume levels.
* Embed a Channel as an OBS browser source as a fallback.
* Create a dynamic waiting room for your Livestream community
* Schedule your YouTube or Twitch Livestream - they work as media too!
* Viewers can watch your 24/7 VOD content when you're offline.
* We are continuing to experiment
* Create "Stations", a single place to watch up to 12 channels or media sources at the same time. Use it to create a livestream gaming tournament of different viewpoints.
* Many more features to come
