Hello emacs.tv
A few days ago, Sacha Chua mentioned how cool it would be to have an Emacs video index like Ruby Video. I mentioned how I had similarly considered a low-tech solution, maybe powered by plain text (bonus points for org mode of course).
A little later, Sacha shared a preliminary video feed dump, in org! With that, I wrote the first experiment to render the org feed and emacs.tv was born.
emacs.tv is merely a few days old. Powered by an org feed (rendered client-side), but we can fetch and render in all sorts of ways. emacs.tv brings it to the web, though I'm sure we can come up with all sorts of Emacs integrations. A new major mode? Or maybe convert the org feed to rss and plug into elfeed?
This is what a feed entry looks like:
