    Love the idea, but entering my Letterboxd username just sort of hangs, and I can’t tell if it’s actually doing anything.

      Can you try again? I tried it, and it should work now. It hanged due to a bug in my Letterboxd parsing code.

      I'm having some issues accessing Letterboxd at the moment. Working on a fix now.

    How difficult would it be to add Trakt as an alternative to Letterboxd?

    Noooooo.

    Been working on the same thing, for exactly the same reasons (ohh, another evening scrolling various UIs with my significant other).

    Congrats!

    I liked the idea. However, I found the journey too slow. I suppose the agent crawls and scrapes the list of movies from scratch every time for each "journey". It might be better to pre-store or cache some sort of general list and work only on the personalisation in real-time.

    A few suggestions: - The end-to-end journey should be completed under 30 seconds. - "Almost There" section shows a list of movie posters that can be removed by the user however there is no information about the movies. I don't know if I would want to remove any or not. - Show IMDB ratings - When removing suggestions, request a reason so that you have better personalisation in the future. - For the final suggested movies, show direct links to the popular streaming platforms to watch them. Add a sharing option through whatsapp etc.

    Good luck.

      Thank you for the feedback, I agree that the journey is a bit too slow at the moment.
