Awesome start! I wanted to build something like this but Netflix shut down their API. Here's a list of features I'd like to see if it helps any.
I'd like to be able to put movies into three groups, want to watch (watch queue), already seen (with a rating), and "have no interest" in seeing.
Then, all my search results would NOT show the movies I've put into one of these three lists, so I only see new content. From the search result list, I can easily put movies into one of my three lists.
Also, if your search results could filter out movies based on buy vs rent, since I have no interest in buying movies online. Also, remove pre-releases, I'm not looking for something I can watch in 5 months, I'm looking for things I can watch right now (GOTs season 5 pre-order).
I think who ever nails this implementation could be a big winner as we need an online tv-guide more than ever. But so far, I only see ways to have the same movies I seen (or don't want to see) thrown in my face over and over again.
As you watch more and more online content, you spend more and more time being offered movies you've already seen and that makes it hard to discover new content in the haystack of stuff you've seen or don't care to see.
Hope that helps.
- endymi0n 11y agoHi Ian, Thanks for the feedback! Rent/Buy filter is already on the short term roadmap. Actually, your main idea is one that we've been dabbling with in various forms close to the one you're describing, as we're mainly dogfooding on the movie discovery UX we'd like to use ourselves. In the end, it's still just the plain WatchList feature you're seeing for time to market reasons, but we're back to the drawing board and will definitely release something similar in the mid term.
