   This redesign concept inspired me to start working on Movieo: https://www.behance.net/gallery/12321857/IMDB-Redesign I took from some concepts by Julien Renvoye aswell. Check out his dribble.

   We would never post to facebook on your behalf. The login wasn't working but we did some fixing. Is it working now? It's hard to catch the error.

   We don't have an API yet unfortunately. We got the data from TMDB/OMDB. You can pull from them.

   We didn't use any front end frameworks or themes. The "look and feel" of the site was mostly inspired by the works from Julien Renvoye, Gilles Bertaux and http://letterboxd.com/ I tried to steal without copyi

   I didn't even know about trakt untill you mentioned it. We'll look into it.

   Thank you sir. It might have been slower for some people since we weren't really prepared for this amount of traffic. HN rules.

    You can do anything except add them to a watchlist! We did some fixing, please tell us if it's working now? It's hard to reproduce the error.

    The stack is backend: Postgre/Unicorn/RoR frontend: SCSS/CoffeeScript/jQuery (no css/js frameworks) We've been working on this for the past couple of months in our spare time. TBH I have no idea how many hours

    We make no profit whatsoever. Movieo is our side passion project. We could make money through ads(lame, not gonna happen), donations(we could add a button somewhere, but like anyone's gonna donate), amazon etc. links(we'll add tho

    Will be adding that feature tommorow!

    Difficult but possible. There are some easier possible ways of getting the data. We'll be looking into those first.

    Thanks for reporting this sneaky bug (logins working fine for most people). We're looking into this. If you could provide any additional info about the error, it would be very helpful for us! Thanks

    We are using data provided by existing API's, and it's far from perfect in case of countries. Many hollywood blockbusters have numerous country tags. For example if one scene was shot in france, or they partnered with french produ

    We pulled data into our own database from both TMDB and OMDB API's.

    We'll do integrations with other services soon. Netflix is unfortunately shutting down their API in 10 days so... yeah.

    Yep, I feel bad for our server right now. We actually pulled all data (300k+ movies, 800k+ people) into our own database. If it had to retrieve from various sources in real time it would have crashed long time ago. Time to upgrade the serve

    We tried stretching content to 100% of 27" viewport but it looked too cluttered. Imagine if you were reading a book where page width was half meter long. I hope you understand what I mean. We could left align it tho. Didn't really

    I noticed this aswell, it happens with audience score of some fresh movies (less than 1 month old). We pull this data from OMDB, so we can't really control it. We'll try to fix most of these cases manually.

    Similar movies are pulled from TMDB API. We have nothing to do with it. But you are right, in some situations similar movies don't make much sense. We have to dig deeper into this and find a good solution.

    I see... we'll see what's up with this. Thanks!

    Netflix will be shutting down their API in 10 days. So unfortunately pulling their data won't be possible. We'll look into other services asap.

    Multiple people said this, it's a shame how we didn't think of this before! We'll be adding this feature during the next couple of days! Thanks for pointing it out!

    Amazon and Hulu integration is on our todo list. It's unfortunate that we can't pull Netflix data since they're shutting down their api in 10 days.
