Show HN: A free multiviewer to watch major news events like elections

13 pointsby MattieTK7 months ago
Hey HN!<p>I&#x27;m a Product Manager at the FT in the UK, and VidGrid is something I&#x27;ve been working on for years in my own time. It&#x27;s just got a major update just in time for the election.<p>The idea is a way to watch lots of different news streams at the same time, as if you&#x27;re in a control room or news gallery for the very latest info. I tried to prioritise usability and speed. All streams are third-party sourced (from broadcaster&#x27;s own links).<p>You can now sign up for an account to save&#x2F;favourite your own streams, and it has better keyboard and drag and drop support. I&#x27;ve also fixed a ton of bugs from the last version.<p>Happy to answer questions about it, or about news media at this time of year in general!<p>Enjoy, and have a good evening.

This is awesome.<p>I think another audience for this is stock market traders and analysts who usually have Bloomberg and other channels up for watching market news.
