Been working on a little passion project to help me track films. It's basically an alternative to Letterboxd without the ads and a really thoughtful user experience. I've included TV shows, and a catch-all import feature for you to bring over films and shows from nearly everywhere.

A shared queue for couples or friends could be really fun. Everyone could add movies and vote on what gets watched next instead of spending 30 minutes arguing about what to pick.😂
no ads and TV shows included already puts this ahead for me, been wanting exactly that. question about the catch-all import - Letterboxd uses a 5-star half-star scale, IMDb uses a 10-point scale, and some trackers use plain thumbs up/down. when you import years of ratings from one of these, does queuebrick convert the scale proportionally so your relative rankings stay intact, or does it just map everything onto its own scale roughly and you end up re-rating things to fix it?
@galdayan Ratings convert to the 10-point scale (3.5★ → 7.0) from letterboxd. IMDb would be 1 to 1. Thumbs up or down... I genuinely don't know I haven't looked at that yet lol. Will investigate.

I really like the idea of ranking what to watch next instead of having a huge watchlist that I never actually use. Keeping the queue focused sounds much more practical.

@robertspencer same! I always struggle with what to watch so if I can prioritize things it helps.
