Good Lord - even couples are no longer able to talk to each other. They need an app?
Oh to be young, back when the world was simple.
When you’ve got 2 kids that go to bed between half an hour and an hour before you and every other night you can use it for watching a movie or a tv show, how much of that time do you want to spend cruising 5 streaming platforms to pick a movie? That’s easily a half hour wasted.
Instead, as we alternate putting kids to bed, the awake parent could be screening movies and match from the previous day review. Meaning we could spend our time actually WATCHING said movie.
We can talk when the kids are awake, but we cannot flip through the Netflix catalog at the same time. Either kids are watching the TV or we don’t want them watching the TV, in either case you can’t use the TV.
Edit:
Go one step further and allow a spouse to preselect from movies and TV currently being watched they would watch for tonight and I will pay for a subscription!
I’ve actually thought of this as a new dating service. Too bad I’m lazy.
Get after it someone who needs an SO.
There’s two kinds of guy who swipe right on The Notebook and you’re not going to be thrilled with either of them.
The app “Queue” does this, as well as the other 50 mentioned in this thread
Yes and a genre filter, please.
Somebody somewhere is about to make so much money. Shoulda learned how to program.
What if you just let the AI you’ve been training for free all this time match you automatically? It knows what you watch, what you like on your Facebook and Instagram, it reads your DMs and text messages, it even knows what ads you’re likely to pause the longest on before you scroll past. It knows you better than you know yourself.
hehe think Ill pass
You’ll pass on using it, but it won’t pass on using you.
Can it not just be for movies, but for food places as well?
Haha, I had this ideayears ago of a dating app where you rate random stuff (food, furniture, hobbies, personality traits, actors, etc) and get paired up that way. I imagine it being like Okcupid before enshittification where you could make questions otger people answered and stuff.
We made a backup - a taqueria. If 5 options get axed we have tacos. No regrets!
I just say “lets go to that place you like” and see what they reply with.
“Okay!”
Now you’re fucked.
Can you put it in the map, my phone is acting weird.
You wanna drive tonight?
This is what you keep emergency diarrhoea in your back pocket for
“Can you book an Uber?”
Then you add it to the pile of movies you don’t have time to watch together
Found the married person with kids
I’m lucky if I get an hour a day to myself outside of work.
I find i can get alone time if I just skip sleep!
Also it’d automatically add the movie to your radarr instance
and order popcorn and dim the lights
🏴☠️
thanks for introducing me to radarr
Wait until you find Sonarr and the rest of the *arrs
I think my life just became full
No that’s just your hard drive
ouch this hurts
And Jellyfin to play it all with.
Make sure to also VPN
It’s been a while since I’ve sailed the high seas. How difficult is it to get subtitle tracks these days? I’ve gotten used to having them on everything.
Most things have it and what doesn’t, OpenSubltitles, an open source subtitle resource, does. It’s just linked right into my Jellyfin. I haven’t had to manually find subtitles in years…
Most of the stuff I rip have the subtitles in the file (mkv ftw). But there’s also bazarr
+1 for Bazaarr
You will probably want to have a passing familiarity with Docker.
You can use bazarr to do it for you
Probably out of scope but would be such a cool feature for https://docs.seerr.dev/
Shit I didn’t know about jellyseer, I’m gonna test it out
on letterboxd you can filter a user’s watchlist for matches in your own or filter out stuff you’ve already seen. handy.
this actually sounds like a really good idea to vibe code
I’m sorry you lost me at the coupling of vibe coding and human connection. I couldn’t quite see the join.
Vibe coding is useful for bashing out simple, stupid ideas that have been done millions of times before. APIs to do SOMETHING with a movie database has been done millions of times before. Tinderlike swiping interfaces have been done millions of times before.
There isn’t going to be much nuance to creating this software. so it’s something that can be fairly easy for an AI to churn out the code for, and get the functionality working and give to people.
Not sure where you got human connection or whatever from this.
It exists, it’s called Handshake
“Handshake | Let’s Agree”
Apparently it is pretty rubbish at connecting people.
All you need is a firm handshake and putting on the LOTR Extended Edition again
Always works, can confirm
Is there a Open source App? That has the samefunctionns?
Not to be confused with the Handshake app for Jobs/Internships
Also not to be confused with handjobs.
Also not to be confused with helping hands
So, basically Mojo Upgrade, but for movies instead of sex?
I just have a massive list of movies and shows I want to watch, and I run it by my wife. She usually just tells me to pick one. Then the burden is mine again.
Let me introduce you to
shuf | head 1. This is literally what picks the next movie for us. If either of us are unhappy, we just remove the movie from the list and try again.
