I can't help but think this message could have been communicated with much more concise writing. Especially if you're going to rant - consider the reader's time and get to point.

Redux can be used in any javascript app. Its a pattern, not something stuck to react.

I agree, managing a private test is much more controlled and feels safer (i.e. just whipping up a landing page to prove some demand)

Thanks! In the search by shape you should be able to set a time-range, but we wouldn't make an axis for it in the shape itself as it probably wouldn't impact the experience of the movie on universal / timeless scale.

We use the free TMDB API. I'm not sure I understand what you're about how to rate a movie? The full shape is a perfect movie, and an empty shape would be a terrible movie.

Thanks! All search is using solr w/ sunspot - https://github.com/sunspot/sunspot which has edge matching :)

Right now we have around 30K movies, but will hopefully growing to 100K+ in the next few days.

Right now the results are based on ratings - so we only have a couple hundred users - all of which have not rated every movie. This is mostly a proof of concept until the rating counts grow.

Sorry about this! Will be fixed tonight

This is exactly right - we like movies for different reasons, and pick things to watch based on those contexts - so thats what shape search focuses on.
77.
by bgnm2000 11y ago
Our DB is still growing - but more importantly, a full max shape will be unlikely to yield results - as a perfect average is also unlikely. Movies only appear when their dimension is equal to or greater than the shape you search by.

Agreed, sorry about that! Hopefully we can remove the onboarding soon - its just a temporary barrier to give users recommendations upon joining.

I think this is ok - we only really expect power users to rate many movies. Did you try out the "shape search"? We think thats the real value this kind of rating system creates.

I'll take the other approach here - I think its useful to see products in a competing space for everyone involved. The poster, and the readers alike only benefit from understanding the full landscape more clearly.

Yea, I think just "doing" is the biggest part of the battle. Because even though they're side projects, they're still real work, that can take equally as long.
