Website shows nothing (literally nothing) with adblock on both on firefox and on chrome. https://screenshots.firefox.com/HgaNoCQnUsV14LhG/tello.tv

Or with DNT

It says "TV Tracker" in the webpage title, so maybe that's why it doesn't work with DNT...

doesn't work on my Chrome with uBlock Origin either.

I really read "Trello" and the name seems like a rather serious collision to me.

I'd say on HN then it makes sense that many will misread it as Trello, but I think it's safe to assume that the name was inspired by Telly, and that the Trello similarity is just a (un)fortunate collision.

Props for building it and releasing the source code. It makes for a fun pet project. I use other websites/apps for tracking TV shows. Did you check these out? - http://www.episode-alert.com - https://www.tvtime.com/en

Thanks! Yeah, was fun. Quoting my reply to a similar comment: """ Yeah, so I spent 2-3 days trying Trakt, which seems like the market leader. I kinda hated it. It's SO feature-packed that it's overwhelming. I don't need every app I use to be a mini-social-network. One of my favourite things is to build a competitor that does _less_. I built http://panther.audio , which is essentially a pretty UI for Spotify's "relate…

I think what you've built is beautiful. Sorry to hear you hate Trakt though. =(

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

Funny, I was making something similar myself!

Even using the same API... what a small world. I'm glad I can use yours instead now! I was actually thinking it would be fun to use Python to search the Tv Maze API for cast of different shows you like and then find common shows with the same actors. Might be a waste of time though. Nice job on Tello.

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.

Are you thinking about using React for a project soon instead? I'm kind of considering it too, but I really like using Angular 4
