@_jacksmith Jack - thanks for taking the time to point these out. We're working on a fix as we speak and will update you when it's deployed!
Does this just search Netflix US or also Netflix UK? I find that a lot of the content in the US can't also be watched in the UK.
@haynes_dave this just searches Netflix/etc content in the US. We'd love to filter by country, but this is really pretty difficult to accomplish...especially with Netflix's closed API.
Boy. If this doesn't describe every person's problem. Every time I want to watch a movie at 9pm my wife says, "No, because you'll spend an hour searching for something to watch and then it's too late to start a movie!" Already building my "watch list"
@msuster You should look into Netflix's new "Browse Endlessly Plan" http://www.theonion.com/video/ne...
@eelcojellema Good catch on the selectbox - we'll get this implemented. Check back later today! We'll also take another look at the margins on the filter section.
Great start, Zack. I'd love to be able to filter by network... If that exists, I wasn't able to find it. Would be great to know specifically where (amazon, netflix, comcast, etc.) I can find these films and click through to watch them right from your site.
@adamtr Thanks, Adam. You can filter by network...it's directly to the left of the 'Sort' drop-down. You can toggle on/off any service. Lots of people are having a hard time finding this - we're working on a better way to call this out.
Can you give us any information about how you're curating the data; knowing that this data isnt very open... also, is it only for US based netflix/amazon etc?
EDIT, I now see the previous question.... which half answers mine
@dan_jenkins It's only for US-based content. As far as how we're getting the data...a bunch of different sources. Like you said - most of the data is not very open. This was a hard problem to solve :)
Already a fan of this. I've always kept my list of movies to watch in Evernote, but now I've got a great and visually-appealing space to keep them.
Really nice work. How did you manage to get access to Netflix API? I thought they shot it down last year?
One potential problem with this website is using it outside USA. A lot of titles found on the website may not be available due to regional limitations (without using a VPN or similar). Is that something you plan on addressing in future iterations?
@jlangvad Yes - we plan on introducing regional functionality...likely a few months out!
@benbeingbin It's on the roadmap - hopefully 1-2 months. We'll send out an email when it's live!
@lewii we are doing something that plays along the same line: uk only; mixing live + ondemand; mobile first: Utelly https://goo.gl/gjGxiS
I spent 30 minutes looking for something on Netflix yesterday. I gave up and did something else. This will be a huge help! Thanks :)
@ahmadktaech Thats the story of my life right there. Usually its 30 minutes of looking, and then trailers for an hour.
