Hey all solo maker here. I kept spending longer choosing what to watch than actually watching, so I built PinpoinTV: an Android TV / Google TV app where you pick your mood + genre and AI recommends ONE thing to watch, limited to the streaming services you already pay for (so no "not available" letdowns).
I'm launching on Product Hunt on July 14 and would love input from this community while I still have time to act on it:
Finally cut my nightly 20 minute scroll down to picking something in under a minute, and it only showed stuff from my actual subscriptions which was a nice surprise.
This is the exact moment I built it for — going from a 20-minute scroll to a sub-minute decision, with zero "oh, that's not on any service I have" letdowns. Thanks so much for trying it, and enjoy the shorter path to the couch!
Love the simplicity of just getting one solid pick instead of a list. One idea: let me save a quick "not in the mood" reason and feed it back into the next suggestion, so the AI learns what actually works for me over time.
Love this idea. A lightweight "not in the mood → why" that feeds back into the next pick is exactly the kind of signal that would make the recommendations feel personal over time, without forcing anyone to build a profile. Adding it to the roadmap — thank you for the thoughtful suggestion!
The no-account, no-signup approach is genuinely refreshing on a TV, and filtering down to one single recommendation instead of yet another endless grid is honestly such a smart call for a couch experience.
Thank you! That was exactly the bet — a couch + remote is the worst place to browse a giant grid, so collapsing it to one confident pick (no login wall) felt like the right call. Really appreciate you getting it.
the no-account, no-upsell approach on the big screen is such a relief, and i love that it sticks to services you already pay for instead of nudging you toward new subscriptions.
Exactly — "help me watch what I already pay for" beats "sign up for one more thing." No account, no upsell, no dark patterns was a hard line for me on the big screen. Really appreciate you noticing that. 🙏
