Hey everyone,

I’ve always wanted a fast and simple way to check what’s airing right now or during prime time without having to deal with slow or clunky EPG systems on TVs. So I finally decided to build it myself.

Today I’d love to share the first version of the site and give you a look at some of the key features:

🌍 Worldwide TV Guide
The app lets you browse current and upcoming shows from hundreds of channels in different countries – all in one place. You can create an account to save your favorite channels and see what’s on during prime time, which you can customize per region or preference.

📋 Channel List Builder
You can also create custom channel lists – for example, if you’re running a hotel or want to share a personal lineup with guests or family. Lists can be shared via link or QR code, and viewers can check all current programs without needing an account. They’re view-only, so it’s perfect for visitors.

🔌 Public API Available
For developers: I just released a REST API that gives you access to program and channel data (country listings, current shows, etc.). You can generate a token after signing up and start querying right away. There are also sample scripts available on GitHub (Python) to help you get started fast.

Here’s the site if you want to check it out:

Would love to hear what you think or if anything’s missing!
