Hey everyone! Creator here: I enjoy watching / discovering / getting recommended tv shows but was losing track of what I was watching / what episode I was on. To be honest it was a little overwhelming / frustrating to know there was so much out there and feel that I was falling behind on it all. I didn't like any of the options out there right now so thought it would be a good project to work on. I am now tracking 63 shows actively and 113 shows are in my queued list. This is a new app with a lot of room to run. Would love any and all feedback! If you'd like to follow along, join the discord for discussions, feature suggestions, and issue reporting! https://discord.gg/9W2W3f676q Here's a list of things I'd like to incorporate in the future: * Add support for tracking movies / podcasts * "Watch together" to see where your friends are * Add comments / notes section for tv shows / episodes * Add collections to track progress in different "universes" -- (e.g. Star Wars, Ryan Murphy-Verse, etc.) * Safari / Chrome Extensions to add shows to your Cover account when browsing the web (e.g. if you're on NYTimes and see a review of X show, one click and start tracking it in Cover). * Incorporate Cast / Crew data * Statistics / graphs of watch history / viewing preferences (e.g. what genre, network, etc. you have watched). * More customization of AI module (right now it just uses the ChatGPT API but would like to fine tune that model / add custom data to make it more personalized / relevant). * Notifications of new seasons / new shows with cast members / creators you've liked. * Smart filtering -- (e.g. more shows to stale if no episode has been watched in X months). * Add Rotten Tomatoes ratings (unfortunately their API isn't open so would have to get approved).

I've been saying for ages that we're missing an app like this. Can't wait to try it out.

🔥🔥

Love this idea! I find that Apple TV does a great job of tracking shows-in-progress so it's easy to pick up on whichever episode is next (even when you've gone months of not watching it). What's most interesting to me is saving different lists - e.g. Oscar winners & nominees, Romcoms, binge shows. I also like the idea of sharing with your friends - maybe something like Goodreads for shows?

congratulations on the launch of cover, benjamin. the feature set sounds comprehensive. i'm curious about the "watch together" feature. how do you envision balancing synchronous viewing experiences with the different time zones and schedules of users?

That's super good to know. Thanks! One thing I'm kicking around is being able to watch with friends.
