Awesome job dude, this is shockingly similar to something I built (although yours has way better UX!) and I also had the same feeling that spurred you to build this in the first place. I track everything I watch through my profile on my site ( http://www.overseer.tv/user/smt ) We even used the same API (thank you based TVMaze). I'm going to check yours out in more depth later on today.

Hah, cool! Looks like we had exactly the same idea. I like that yours has profiles!

Love the site design, glad this is a side project and thanks for building it but:

Is this really a problem that needs solving? I feel like using it is just creating busywork for myself. It's not particularly difficult to know when shows you enjoy come back. Most methods of watching them will automatically track which episodes you've already seen.

This looks awesome, but it doesn't seem to work on Firefox (I'm on Quantum 57 beta).

Thanks! Hadn't tested that, will investigate.

Same here. Just a blank screen on Firefox Developer Edition.

Took a screen shot of my console for ya. Hopefully it helps.

Yeah, so I'm a Canadian, and Canadian Netflix doesn't have many US shows. I imagine if I had a streaming service like that, this would be far less necessary :)

For myself, I've been using it for over a month now, and it's been a terrific timesaver. My old system would be to try and remember which shows I like, and then google them to see if there's new episodes. It means that once I finish a season of something, I'm counting on my memory to check back in 9 months to see if the new season has started yet.

If you have an easier method to easily figure out when new episodes of your favourite shows come out, then by all means, that makes more sense :)

Author here! I created this during my vacation because I wanted it to exist. The joy of being a web developer is being able to create the stuff you wish existed! The repo is here, and the README covers some of the more interesting parts of the codebase: https://github.com/joshwcomeau/Tello

Looks nice, there's a slight bug on the calendar view, see https://imgur.com/d3JJsNd (take a look how "Majority Rule" behaves when switching weeks) I'd like to see a page with a countdown to next episode air time for all shows, like a reverse timeline.

Oh no! Thanks for letting me know. I saw that as well once, but wasn't able to reproduce it. Will try again!

I want to give you a special thanks for releasing a working example of a clean and professional codebase. I'm a web developer who works mostly in angular/vue + backend so it's great to have another reference point / comparison if/when I dive into React. Also as minor feedback, a bulk-add view for shows would be nice.

Appreciate it!

I'll check this out when I get home, but what I'm wondering is if this supports rewatching a show. My current grievance with trakt.tv is that it'll track a show for you once, but the second time through, you either lose the history or have to keep track of which episode you are on somewhere else.
