A lighter, fully static LoopTV
- The production site moved to an Astro shell with React only where playback needs browser state.
- Stations, permalinks, catalog assets, random play, and the TV-style experience stayed intact.
Product history
Changelog
Meaningful improvements to the lean-back player, curated catalog, and refresh pipeline.
-
-
Clearer catalog discovery
- The public catalog gained a station breakdown and structured video metadata.
- Canonical metadata, sitemaps, robots guidance, and the owned tv.significanthobbies.com address were reverified.
-
Safer catalog refreshes
- Quota-aware refreshes reuse recent source data and stop before unnecessary YouTube API work.
- Integrity checks now block suspiciously small, stale, or incomplete catalogs from shipping.
-
LoopTV launched
- Curated YouTube channels became lean-back stations with random continuous playback.
- Watch history and preferences remain on the device, with no account or runtime API key.
