The full story
HackerTV is a web app that plays videos from Hacker News as a schedule of TV channels. A reader wanted it on their television, so they had Claude Sonnet 5.5 wrap it in a small Android TV app that runs on their Sony Google TV.
The app is a full-screen WebView on hackertv.org and copies none of HackerTV's code. It adds the keys a remote has and a browser lacks: channel up and down, red or Guide for the channel guide, green for picture filters such as CRT and VHS, yellow for captions, blue for programme info, and play/pause for theatre mode.
