Cubflix – A TV-style YouTube for kids with parent-approved channels

Hacker News

As the title says - I created a TV-like experience using Youtube channels that are allowed, to give kids a much healthier and safer experience. YouTube has tons of great educational channels, the problem is with all the garbage it has too, not to mention shorts, other short form content and recommendations always sucking your kids into the most brainwashing channels. I assume most of the people here on hackernews (at least around my age) grew up watching TV, we we're doing ok! :) I wanted my kids to have that experience, with more modern content. It's an ipad app. I intend to add more features in the near-future, and would love to get some feedback..
