SenseStream – Mood-based film discovery instead of genre browsing

I built SenseStream, a film discovery platform organised by emotional mood rather than genre. Most streaming platforms optimise for popularity and similarity. But when people open them, they’re usually trying to match a feeling (“something calm”, “something intense”) rather than a genre. So instead of Action/Drama/Comedy, I structured the platform around 24 emotional mood categories. Each film is manually placed based on emotional temperature rather than metadata. Current version: – 300+ curated films and series – Fully human-selected (no algorithm) – Built with no-code tools – Free to use I’m exploring whether emotional taxonomy reduces decision fatigue better than traditional browsing. Would appreciate feedback on: 1. Whether mood is a strong organizing principle 2. Whether 24 categories feels excessive 3. Whether this should remain curated or evolve into automation https://sensestream.co.uk
