My husband and I are constantly struggling to find what to watch at night. I know that there are a plethora of recommendation systems, but I feel like they just don't work. We then turn our attention to curators, who are great, but they also typically have a preference, and you need to follow a bunch of them.

We built this small app where people just enter one-line text on why you should watch that movie. Since it's only a deck of cards of movies, it's really easy to go through them and find what you like. About 700 cards at the moment.

Give it a try: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/handpicked-movies-by-people/id...

Tubi has a new system where you can add your favorite movies into a "list" and give the list a title. All lists are made by users. Kind of interesting how Tubi makes since out of the submissions and I wonder how much time it takes their reviewers to approve and disapprove lists.

You can think our app as a movie discovery app, there is a shared deck between all users. But you still have a watchlist, of course.
