Hey HN!
I'm a Product Manager at the FT in the UK, and VidGrid is something I've been working on for years in my own time. It's just got a major update just in time for the election.
The idea is a way to watch lots of different news streams at the same time, as if you'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's own links).
You can now sign up for an account to save/favourite your own streams, and it has better keyboard and drag and drop support. I've also fixed a ton of bugs from the last version.
Happy to answer questions about it, or about news media at this time of year in general!
Enjoy, and have a good evening.
