Hmmmn, it's probably a bit of both. We need to save in session when you switch store to change what you see on a specific film page. But then I'm pretty sure we send you to a generic itunes URL per item and you're being redirected by them.

There is a huge (tarred or zipped, I'm unsure as @geelen did the work) database dump of all the itunes store content for affiliates.

Some of them have made it onto Netflix (see http://goodfil.ms/films/on_netflix/recently_released ) Trying to "fix" the severe segmentation problems between the various online streaming services is one of the things we're aiming to fix with

Odd. If it's not too weird to ask, could you send your IP to help@goodfil.ms so I can test our IP detection logic?

Not yet. So far you're the only person that's brought it up, if there's some more interest we might look at doing an "aggregate itunes" view somehow.

Using the search box? That will search goodfilms globally, not just within the itunes area of the site... but that does give me an idea.

Thanks so much. It's amazing what hiring a genuinely talented designer can do.

The key thing I got a bit wrong was high-traffic mostly static "content", vs high-traffic "very custom" which is a) what I was used to at envato and b) what I thought we had on our hands at goodfilms. I think in a growing site with a lot

Sorry - we haven't tested on a windows phone, so didn't include it in our user agent matching.

can you email your phone details to help@goodfil.ms and we'll see what we can do. Glen has an iPhone, I have an android, so that's been our testing to date.

My co-founder Glen who did all the UI work for it is going to write a much more detailed post when the dust settles after launch. I find it interesting that you prefer the broader "aggregate of the internet" ratings, rather than ratings bas

That's definitely what got us going. We wouldn't have even done the diff on the legals if the blog post wasn't put up with such vague language so late on a friday afternoon.

We're going to add it soon. We just wanted to ship what we've got now. Sometimes it's a little tricky for us to gauge what's popular with streaming, as we don't get many of the options down in Australia.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were. If anyone knows of any, please share here. Glen is bringing a lot of what he learned doing transport modeling and advertising analysis to the project - but we don't have any reference material specific

We built the referral system long before we had buy it now, and a higher minimum deposit. The last serious re-visit it got was close to four years ago. It's one of those made sense at the times things that continue to work OK. Keeping on to

That's a fair call - I don't know you and I am speaking about character traits. I don't feel your original comment reflected a position on knowing where to (or not) compromise, you made a strong assertion to take one option off the table in

by johnb 15y ago
That position of "no compromises" is probably why you're not writing a framework on which others depend. Complex software always involves compromises, especially general purpose frameworks used by a large population. Even if you're saying t
