Show HN: WhenEpisode.com (Simple weekend project)
- johns 14y agoIs it automated?
- nvr219 14y agoVery cool
- vojant 14y agoThanks :)
- necenzurat 14y ago1. where do you get the data? 2. do you know about http://myepisodes.com http://myepisodes.com
- nwienert 14y agoInstantly bookmarked. Useful, simple, and no nagging sign up or share buttons plastered everywhere. What are your plans going forward?
- vojant 14y agoNot much, simple FB fan page and auto posting reminds about new episodes.
- janerik 14y agoPlease consider an API. Having this data in an easily parseable format like JSON would be awesome.
- simon02 14y agoI like it, but would suggest repeating the date of the next episode on the individual pages and making this the most noticeable like you did on the frontpage. Perhaps even making it linkable so it scrolls down to the episode in question (and highlighting it).
- saumilj 14y agoFYI, "sezon" (sic) is written as "season." Cool project!
- vojant 14y agoThanks!
- IbJacked 14y agoAlso, when listing episodes, the date "unknow" should be "unknown". Nice site, I really like the clean design. I'll be using this in conjunction with TV Calendar (http://www.pogdesign.co.uk/cat/ http://www.pogdesign.co.uk/cat/).
- JMill 14y agoOh, I thought 'sezon' was a new slang term for 'season'. Haha.
- janerik 14y agoWow, great. Searched for a site like this a while now, but never found one with such a simple interface. I would like to have an API though, to integrate it into my current episode-reporting-bot :)
- JshWright 14y agoWhere's the GitHub repo so I can submit pull requests for shows I care about? http://epguides.com/Castle/ http://epguides.com/Castle/ http://epguides.com/CovertAffairs/ http://epguides.com/CovertAffairs/ http://epguides.com/WhiteCollar/ http://epguides.com/WhiteCollar/ http://epguides.com/ModernFamily/ http://epguides.com/ModernFamily/ http://epguides.com/Middle/ http://epguides.com/Middle/
- vojant 14y agoAdded!
- TallboyOne 14y agoIf youre adding tons of shows add search too. Can't go wrong with elasticsearch :)
- madsushi 14y agoI like it. It's more series-focused than other sites I've seen, which is easier than flipping through months trying to find when Breaking Bad starts again. (http://pogdesign.co.uk/cat/ http://pogdesign.co.uk/cat/)
- dave1010uk 14y agoThe pogdesign TV calendar is amazing. It does have a next airing page, which you can filter if you sign up. It also lets you specify your time zone, which is very useful for me (in the UK).
- axk 14y agoLooks great! A web feed (and/or email notifications) of selected shows would be helpful. By the way, a similar service for album releases: https://muspy.com/ https://muspy.com/
- citricsquid 14y agoUS only? :( A service like this that existed for all online services (country independent) and TV channels (eg: Netflix UK, Netflix US, iTunes, HBO...) would be awesome.
- notatoad 14y agoThis is a basic feature of all the private TV trackers i've been on. I've yet to see a good one that's publicly available and not associated with some piracy site.
- glomph 14y agoThey all use http://thetvdb.com/ http://thetvdb.com/ iirc.
- CrazedGeek 14y agoAs an American who has a slightly hard time figuring out when new series of less popular panel shows air in the UK, agreed completely.
- seiji 14y agoPretty cool. A mix of http://tvcountdown.com http://tvcountdown.com and http://eztv.it/countdown/ http://eztv.it/countdown/
- suhastech 14y agoAwesome. Give me an email notification option for when they'll be aired and this will be perfect.
- cpayne 14y agoYes, +1 for some type of notification. When shows are added (Nurse Jackie?) or when a new date is added
- angryasian 14y agofor me theres too many missing shows for this to be useful. Just because I'm american I dislike the date formatting. The list by seasons should be in reverse order from the latest, because really isn't that what matters. Theres a lot of other resources for this, but I'd like to see it in a weekly type view, but again theres too many missing shows.
- hk__2 14y agoGreat, where do you get your data?
- Fuzzwah 14y agoA few more requests: http://epguides.com/Suits/ http://epguides.com/Suits/ http://epguides.com/1600Penn/ http://epguides.com/1600Penn/ http://epguides.com/30Rock/ http://epguides.com/30Rock/ http://epguides.com/Copper/ http://epguides.com/Copper/ http://epguides.com/HellonWheels/ http://epguides.com/HellonWheels/ http://epguides.com/Hunted/ http://epguides.com/Hunted/ http://epguides.com/PeepShow/ http://epguides.com/PeepShow/ http://epguides.com/Survivor/ http://epguides.com/Survivor/ http://epguides.com/Newsroom_2012/ http://epguides.com/Newsroom_2012/ Pretty please :)
- donebizkit 14y agoGreat idea! On the long run, if you keep it as simple as possible and clutter free, you'll have a winner. Good job.
- holgersindbaek 14y agoThis is great. If you could then link each episode to a torrent on the pirate bay and notify me each time a new episode is released, you would be my hero.
- jamesaguilar 14y agoSeason <--- is spelled this way, not sezon.
- vojant 14y agoThanks :)
- lakeeffect 14y agoNice work!
- cpayne 14y agoDude, you should put an about page. Link to who you are, why you did this, how do I find you? (Twitter, FB etc. This is a really good piece for your portfolio. Good developers (who have ideas & are proactive) are always in high demand!
- alexandern 14y agoReally good job on this. One feature that you might want to think about is adding support for timezones. I live in Europe so I have to re-calculate all times in my head. It would be nice to have an option to set a specific timezone.
- vojant 14y agoGood idea, I will add It soon.
- wubbfindel 14y agoReally nice! Maybe I'm missing it, but a series filter would be great on the home page. I'd like to type the name of the program I'm interested in and just hit enter. Gonna bookmark this either way and see how it develops.
- superphil0 14y agoawesome!
- sniuff 14y agoCan someone explain what is the difference between this and existing ones like: http://onmytv.info/ http://onmytv.info/
- mbpp 14y agoSimplicity.
- KMBredt 14y agoA categorization in "running", "on hiatus" (e.g.: Community) or "finished" (e.g.: House) would be nice. Also: a calendar and feature to semi-personalize it, by simply using cookies to store series "to watch". Merge both for a semi-personalized calendar. Speaking of "Episodes", this series is missing ;-)
- lukeholder 14y agomy fav website like this has been http://www.pogdesign.co.uk/cat/ http://www.pogdesign.co.uk/cat/
- mikerice 14y agoNice work, very impressive for a weekend project! Did something similar a couple years ago called http://remembertowatch.com http://remembertowatch.com.
- Timothee 14y agoPretty cool. I like the thinly-veiled SEO work in the "See also" section. Smart :) On a show's page, I'm confused by the "Featured series" button that leads to the homepage as seen here: http://whenepisode.com/coming/t/breaking+bad http://whenepisode.com/coming/t/breaking+bad Since it's a button I thought it would add the show to the featured shows (for my session), but it's just a link. That's actually a "problem" I've been having with series I watch on Hulu, which made me check my queue every now and then just to see that, no, there wasn't a new episode of The Office this week… My way to solve problems is mostly through Chrome extensions these days, so, here is the shameless plug for the extension I built: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/qulu-–-your-hulu-queue/iggfkakbafpkgjaocfjaoehcclhcjckb https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/qulu-–-your-hulu-q... A badge shows you when you have new shows to watch from your Chrome toolbar.
- avilay 14y agoI installed your chrome qulu plugin...nice work! It partially solves the problem I describe on the main thread. However, the badge showed me all the episodes in my queue, even the ones that I had already watched. Also, I have started using the "favorites" section instead of the queues interface in Hulu. It would be great if the plugin could tell me new episodes of my favorite shows..
- Timothee 14y agothe badge showed me all the episodes in my queue, even the ones that I had already watched. It will actually show the new ones as "+4" for example until you click it, then it shows the total number of shows in your queue. However, Hulu should automatically be removing the shows you've watched, not sure why it doesn't. I'll have to look at the favorites section… I'm not really sure how it works actually. It seems that new episodes added to your favorites will be added to your queue by default, no? Maybe it's not by default and just the way I have mine set up. I could look into it, but at first sight, it seems that it would be a fairly significant change, since I would need to track down the existing episodes for each favorite show and then periodically check again on each show page. Whereas I only check on the queue page for now.
- nchuhoai 14y agoI have been using http://episodecalendar.com/ http://episodecalendar.com/ for this, to manage my shows and where im at. Does anyone have similar picks?
- covercash 14y agoI've been using TV Forecast on my iPhone for quite some time. They also do widget and iPad versions. http://www.bigbucketblog.com/tv/ http://www.bigbucketblog.com/tv/
- eknkc 14y agoI've been using episodecalendar too, great service.
- ars 14y agohttp://myepisodes.com/ http://myepisodes.com/ Keeps track of which shows you've watched, which you need to record, and which you have but haven't watched yet.
- vimy 14y agoI use http://followmy.tv http://followmy.tv. Screenshot: http://imgur.com/nJmvx http://imgur.com/nJmvx
- avilay 14y agoPretty cool for TV watching! In my case, I do most of my TV watching online - Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, etc. And when I sit down to watch something I spend 90% of my time searching for a show and obviously end up not watching anything :-P Anybody else has the same "problem"? Anybody know of a product that keeps an eye on my different sources and tells me when something new or interesting (for me) pops up?
- moystard 14y agoAndroid users, if you are looking for a great way to track your show, you should try out SeriesGuide Show Manager, excellent app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.battlelancer.seriesguide&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5iYXR0bGVsYW5jZXIuc2VyaWVzZ3VpZGUiXQ. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.battlelanc....
- perchance 14y agoI use www.mytvrss.com which can be customized for specific shows.
- w1ntermute 14y agoPlease add support for showing the air time and (if you select your TV provider) channel.
- TenJack 14y agoWhat about adding a feature for email/sms/calendar reminders?
- looki 14y agoNeeds more Adventure Time! Other than that, nice.
- onlyup 14y agoDidn't have the first show I went to check. (Shark Tank)
