Lifehacker makes room for fireside evenings and a reading nook

Twelve uploads span home upgrades, Garmin running tips and a Fitbit review carrying the strongest daily momentum.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

DIY Fire Pit: Before and After 🪵🔥

What does a small home upgrade look like on Lifehacker? A patch of lawn becomes a stone fire pit, complete with two Adirondack chairs and a dog claiming one of them.

"DIY Fire Pit: Before and After 🪵🔥" was the most-watched of the week's new uploads, reaching roughly 1,500 views. The short timelapse moves from digging grass to stacking circular blocks around a metal insert, then adding stones and gravel. It is a paid partnership with Lowe's.

Indoors, Jordan Calhoun's home-improvement journey supplied a reading-nook transformation and a smart-TV backlight installation. The nook centers on a large floor cushion; the backlights bring screen- and audio-synced colors to movie night. Elsewhere in the dozen uploads, Meredith Dietz offered a Garmin race-day checklist, alongside separate lessons on running metrics and what to do during rests between heavy lifting sets.

The strongest daily momentum belongs to "Fitbit Edge Review," posted just before this weekly window. A newer look at Raven Prism smart glasses is also drawing attention, with the description emphasizing locally operated Linux hardware and eye-tracking controls rather than a conventional app ecosystem.

Subscribers held steady, while the channel collected roughly 63,000 views over the week. Daily viewing is now about half again its usual level. Among nearby DIY and home channels, Dreamy Interior had a much larger viewing week, while 6061 was quieter than Lifehacker. For Lifehacker itself, the useful contrast is between the home projects filling the new-upload slate and the wearable-tech review bringing in the most daily views.
