Show HN: Rhome – I made a recommendation platform for long-form media

Rhome is a recommendation platform for sharing long-form media recommendations with friends. It's built on the principle that recs from friends mean more to you than those from an algorithm. In a world of shortening attention spans, the platform is meant to encourage more thoughtfulness about the content we consume.

Would appreciate any feedback!

It sounds like a cool idea, but the homepage is so empty... do you think you could add some details like a screenshot or reason to sign up right now?

Thanks for the feedback, definitely agree. I made some modifications that provide some more clarity

Wow, that was incredibly fast and definitely helped me understand what I was signing up for. I'll give it a try and report back if I remember to use it -- thanks for the update!
