Looking for help with v2. Hoping to connect with talented web/mobile devs. Thank you!
FYI: Sign-up not fully functional, Now Playing link doesn't always work, selecting a search result might not always work either. Sorry haven't touched the code in several months. I'm hoping to revive this little passion project though!
This is neat, but the tags don't make for a great first impression. #gore, #violence, #beating, #shot to death. It's all well and good if people are into that, but probably a turnoff to the average user that comes across the site.
Movies in Tops page are based on what people are most interested in, which is a sobering thought. When first loaded the channel selection is random. But there are definitely some depressing/dark tags in the db.
It should tell me which streaming service it's available on... for extra points I should be able to select my streaming services then have the app go to work for me.
Had some ideas in this direction but since this was a passion project being funded out of pocket I could not see those ideas through. Would still love to, hence posting to HN here. Thanks for the feedback.
Where does TMDB show me which streaming services Mr.Robot, say, is currently available on? It gives the producing network, catalogue details, all that, but I can't find the details of its availability on Netflix/NowTV/Sky/AmazonPrimeInstant/etc.?
It doesn't. You'd have to scrape a site that had that data or check to see if they have an API. I believe there are sites that do this but as it wasn't core functionality of the MVP anyway we didn't focus on it too much.
* YouTube + Soundcloud + Tomahawk (to fetch movie soundtracks)
* Recommendations (I suppose you could also pull metadata from Reddit like Reddit Music Player does. Crowd sourced metadata tends to be very, very, high quality.)
Thank you, some good ideas there. I wanted to be careful not to upset the Hollywood elite since I live here ;) and they are a litigious bunch. But with some further development I could make torrent streaming a possibility and/or consider other possibilities to enable people to use it like that. i.e. with 1channel/soundcloud/tomahawk assuming it's easy enough to get to that data and would definitely be interesting to experiment with.
Is it up to me to actually find a way to watch the movie? The embedded trailers aren't labeled as such and my first thought was that these movies were all available on youtube.. Looks cool!
Thank you! It is up to you at the moment but most of them are available to rent on youtube. I have no affiliate or advertising in place. Pure passion project I funded out of pocket. Hope to monetize at some point. Originally I made it to help me find things on Netflix, but Netflix is scary - legally speaking.
Yeah I've seen this site. Difference is I'm focusing on helping the user make a decision, not find out what streaming service a movie is on. The whole time I was building this I kept asking myself one and only one question: What do I want to watch right now? Not that you were saying we're solving the same problem. I though I'd take the opportunity to point out the difference however, as there are a ton of movie rec sites out there.
Thanks for checking it out.
Thank you. We have considered open sourcing but we need to clean some things up on the backend before doing so. Also we have some 3rd party tools that are not free that are part of the core functionality. So open sourcing might not make sense but I would like to make the platform available to users who want to catalogue their own collections. Thanks for your comment
haha. Thanks for checking it out. I have some v2 designs in place but not the resources to put them into production. Looking for a partner in crime to help.
