Textable lets you create an entire Teletext channel from one prompt. Yes, those blocky, chaotic, “is my TV broken?” pages from the ancient world. Just type what you want (“make me a pirate news channel”, “give me cursed horoscopes”, “create a Teletext IKEA catalogue”) and boom. You can generate pages, stories, sport scores, puzzles, weird trivia, fake ads, whatever you want. Try it, break it, make absurd things. Teletext forever.
Hey PH 👋
I built Textable because I missed Teletext - that magical era when your TV screen was 80% squares and 20% hope.
I wanted a tool where you type something like “give me a soap opera about the Commodore Amiga” and it spits out a whole Teletext channel as if it’s 1993 and the future hasn’t happened yet.
Make art, make nonsense, make something cursed.
I’d love your feedback.
P.S. If you used Teletext as a kid, I’m sorry for unlocking this memory.
Tested it. Pretty cool. But while I was testing, I came up with a related idea. You have content broken into slides with an old-school design. What if you made a similar project for creators of channels on messengers or social networks? For example, a channel about dogs on WhatsApp, Substack, Discord, X.com, etc. You could create a service based on yours that generates a series of posts at a pre-set frequency and automatically publishes them on different platforms. You’d just need to finish the platform integrations and the admin panel. I know the idea is a bit different from your project, but if I were you, I’d try it—you already have the foundation.
I really loved playing around :) Pure console mode and still interesting. Nostalgia (without mouse). Also, great ideas generated by the AI
