Show HN: ReelsGraph – movie/TV watchlist and ML-based discovery queue, no signup
ReelsGraph is a movie and TV watchlist tool that offers ML-based discovery queues without requiring user signup, allowing users to find and organize content to watch.
Background
ReelsGraph is a new web app for tracking movies/TV shows you want to watch and discovering new ones. It uses machine learning (ML) to generate a personalized "discovery queue" based on your taste. Key points:
- No signup required – you can start using it immediately, which is unusual for a recommendation service.
- It was posted on "Show HN" (Hacker News), a section where makers share side projects and get feedback from the tech community.
- The ML approach likely analyzes collaborative filtering (what similar users liked) or content-based features (genre, cast, keywords) to make suggestions.
- The project competes with Letterboxd (for film buffs), IMDb watchlists, and streaming-service recommendations, but differentiates by being free, requiring no account, and having an explicit ML recommendation engine.
- For readers unfamiliar: Hacker News (news.ycombinator.com) is a hugely influential tech forum run by Y Combinator. A "Show HN" post is a way for independent developers to launch a tool and get early users.
