Suggestion: don't lose search strings. Example: in the search box type "Panda" -- a modal window pops up with 6 matches. Which one do I want? I click one. It fills the window. Nope, that is not the one. So I click the Back button-- and the search box is empty. I have to type "Panda" again. That is annoying. Probably you should just repaint the main window, with the search string intact but showing only the matching s…

#132My wishlist for a service like this: - Let me select a streaming service and get an A-Z listing of all available titles - Show me if shows are censored/modified in any way or missing episodes - Show me if shows are included with the price of subscription or if you have to pay more on top of what you're already paying (a huge problem with amazon) - Work without JS enabled

#134Features I would like: a country filter and a way to select which streaming services I have access to. And if I search for something show that it is not available with my filters.

#135Nice app! Congrats on launching! I was about to start building something similar but a bit different use case (maybe you can add it to your app?): if the tv show is not available in my country, I want to be able to set an email alert and get an email notification when it becomes available.

#136Another idea: let me see what’s newest to streaming that has good reviews. And what’s about to come out. I currently use the rotten tomatoes new to streaming page for this; but I wish it was better.

#137> Realizing the need for a streamlined solution, I created one. Now you can effortlessly find your desired content and simplify your entertainment journey beyond borders. Same here, but over year ago I just switched to private torrents. I am done with platforms throwing obstacles for me to navigate in order to watch a show. Those companies can compete with torrents. Early netflix and HBO were winning subscriptions fr…

To better understand your use case, I'm wondering how you would like to navigate an A-Z list. Is there a specific reason for a full list, or would you rather be able to search and display only content that is available on your service selection?

Definitely would be useful and worth adding but think the idea was to show other countries (for VPN IP-spoofing purposes). Agree though it should have home country as the default (but also still show other countries in case your home country isn't streaming).
Random question, what VPN is good for location spoofing. My current vpn doesn't work for this purpose which is annoying
Re: Show HN: I made an app that helps you find where to stream movies and TV shows
#140Improvement ideas: let the user set their country. If I live in Germany, and I don't want to bother with VPN, knowing that a TV show is available in Argentina and 30 other countries is not important. Also, I don't think this takes care of the case where some seasons of a show is available but not the others. Maybe that's also the reason for false negatives in some cases (others mentioned this). Another thing: be able…
