@hasan_diwan Gotcha! :) Our idea here was a bit different. We would like to provide info to the user if the movie is available on Netflix, HBO, Hulu or services like that. For that we would need other kind of integration than the one you proposed.

Love the idea! I seem to only get old movie though (which I most of the time have seen already). Is the list of movies kept up-to-date or is it like a hardcoded list?

@melvin_loos1 Hi Melvin! :) Thank you so much for the review! :) Our team of contributors is growing daily and we are expanding the database very fast, so we will catch up on new movies very fast!
@ivandrei Great Idea. Really cool product. Nice Work! There is a pretty extensive open source database that is up to date. I am sure you used it but thought it could expedite your library creation process. https://www.themoviedb.org/

@jakenathanson Hey Jake! :) Thank you very much for the lovely feedback! Really glad you like it! And tnx for the link! Database as such is not that big of an issue, more important is what movies we will have in our database (we do our best to pick good ones :) ) and our own tags that we use to tag movies. Luckily, we have wonderful contributors who help us do this work!

@ivandrei Ahh I see. That makes a ton of sense. Thanks for clarifying. Great job!
We are a team of dedicated web developers and genuine movie buffs!
Actually, my wife got an idea for this app - she used to spend countless hours picking a movie to watch!
Idea was to create fun, easy and fast app that will pick a perfect movie in less than 10 seconds.
What do you think - have we succeeded? :)

Really cool idea! I have used it with my gf 2 times and movies were spot on! Altho integration with netflix or something, or just to show where I can find movie would be awesome! :) good luck 😃

@bojan_k_ Thank you so much! :) Yes, integration with streaming platforms is the next big feature!
Report
@bojan_k_ totally agreed! Also based on Netflix's country availability.

Lovely! I read the Medium story, what a nice read :) I’m so happy this exists now! I’ve wasted literally 10s of hours with my friends deciding what movie to watch (often ending up not watching any movie at all).
Where is the data pulled from?

@anna_0x Hey Anna! Thank you so much for the lovely feedback! 🤗
Data are pulled from the imdb at the moment.
What did you make this with? Currently building a similar thing, but to recommend vitamins! Your stack and approach could be useful :)

@danirogerc Hi Daniel! :) Sorry for my late reply! The app was build on Ruby on Rails. If you would like to know more about the details feel free to write me on ivan@drei.one.
Sometimes it happens to me aswell, i spend hours to pick a movie to watch and in the end the movie lasts less than the time I have spent to pick it.
Thats why I am always open to give a try to this kind of apps.
Tried StayIn and it actually picks unpopular but good movie. So thats great.
One things though, it seems like you don’t have a lot of questions(tried it twice and got asked almost the same questions both times), so that gives the impression your database has only a tiny amount of movies to pick from. Which ofcourse is kind of a deal breaker.
Anyways StayIn says I should watch: Who Framed Roger Rabbit, so I will. But I would have liked to be able to watch a trailer right from your website or atleast have a link to the trailer.. I guess I will have to look for it myself :)

@samilkarahisar Thank you for the detailed feedback! 😃
Really glad that you took the time to review it!
We are building up the database everyday and the trailers are on our road map - so, comming soon! ;)
However, our database is quite big at the moment - so, we challenge you to test it one more time and tell us if the questions were same. 😉
Tnx again for the time!
StayIn
