WatchedThis – Find What to Watch Instantly with AI Poster Scanning, Smart Recs & a Movie Spinner

Hey PH!

Picking what to watch shouldn't take longer than actually watching something. WatchedThis fixes that.

It's a media discovery platform that pulls together everything scattered across the web — recommendations, trailers, reviews, cast info — into one place. Built with Next.js and Firebase.

What makes it different:

Scene/Poster Scanner — point your camera at any poster or screenshot and it identifies the movie instantly using image recognition

Movie Spinner — can't decide? Spin for a random pick, filtered to your taste

Plot-alike Finder — describe what you're in the mood for, get spot-on recommendations

Plus Google login, personal Wishlist, and smart content filters.

Early beta users loved the spinner and scanner most — the "surprise me" factor is real.

Would love your feedback, especially on the scanner feature. What movies or shows are you all hunting for right now?
