For premium, I'm thinking of features like availability alerts, collaboration on lists, hiding watched content, filtering by subtitles and audio, finding your favorite songs and albums ;), showing only your services, data privacy, dark mode, no ads...

from the ask-hn dept.
The platform I launched last month — whereto.stream has quickly grown to 30k monthly active users (thanks to this wonderful community), and I'm now eager to enhance the service with brand new features.However, to achieve this, I'm trying to gauge user interest and willingness to pay for a premium version to avoid introducing ads.All feedback is welcome!
This one we'll be implementing soon :)
We're exploring ways to bridge that gap, as it's a real problem that needs addressing. Thanks for sharing your experience, I really appreciate it!
That's very good insight. Thank you for taking the time to provide your input, I really appreciate it. We'll do our best to continuously improve the product, and this is definitely enticing enough to keep track of and consider implementing in the future.
Thanks! It's not currently supported, but we're looking to add it to our list of services soon.
We're working to improve the platform, and one area of focus will be to support more services.
Gotcha, that makes sense! Thanks for providing additional info.
Noted, thanks for the feedback!
I definitely understand your struggle, which is why I created whereto.stream. We hope to find even more effective ways to help people stream or at least understand how to navigate these and similar obstacles that are preventing them from doing so.
I've seen this request/idea pop up more than a few times now, so I'm jotting it down as one of the features we'll consider implementing sooner rather than later.
Thank you for your feedback!
Oh that is definitely on our roadmap and something I've been heavily thinking about. Stay tuned!
This is one of our top feature requests and we'll be implementing it very soon. Thanks for your feedback.
To better understand your use case, I'm wondering how you would like to navigate an A-Z list. Is there a specific reason for a full list, or would you rather be able to search and display only content that is available on your service selection?
We'll be implementing as a quick follow-up :)
I'm noting this one down. Great suggestion!
That's an extremely valid piece of feedback and something I'm planning to spend more time clarifying on the platform so that people know how to navigate those and similar issues. There are cases where it's not only the credit card that's a deciding factor, but sometimes even the country from which you were creating your account (e.g. Prime Video).
Definitely on the roadmap. Thank you for your feedback!
Glad to hear that! We'll look into adding Viki and many other streaming services as a source. Thanks for your feedback.
Much appreciated, thank you!
Super glad to hear that, thank you!
Implementing soon! Thank you for your feedback.
Thank you for your support! All feedback is welcome, especially as we iterate and improve.
I'll definitely be looking more deeply into this. Thank you for your feedback!
Haha I appreciate your comment and I'm glad you managed to find what you're looking for!
The reason "United States" appears under the Netflix selection for "Oppenheimer" is solely to indicate that you can still watch it from the US if you're using a VPN (in this case, we're featuring NordVPN since we can offer a discount for their services). However, I do agree that we need a clearer way to communicate from the start that "United States" (in this case) is included only with additional VPN support.
