what? HN submission is still alive for me. Or are you talking about something else?
Ah, disappeared from the frontpage for a solid 5 minutes. Back on now!

#32I like the UI and the execution. I don't know why it is limited to movies. The UI could easily be used for music too.
Focus is a good thing. Having it just be movies means he can make a much richer experience.

We bought http://shows.io/, which is the logical next step for us. Music is a lot trickier, I don't think we're going to attack it.
As for 'why it's limited': gotta focus on one thing at a time. We want to improve this one as much as possible, serve the community, improve content discovery/suggestion (that is personalized from your friends, not from some oracle rating stuff from 1 to 10)

True. But sometimes I like the "one stop shopping" things. When I want to look for a torrent, I go to my "go to" site regardless of what type of thing I'm looking for. I would love to see a UI like this that scaled to other stuff.

Just heard of torrentbutler a few hours ago. It's interesting, and gets a few things right, but it's not what we're going for.
Hopefully the minimalist side of movies.io attracts a different kind of people.
Also, the whole watchlist+sharing aspect is missing in tb.

I can't argue with that. I'll certainly keep this one in my mind when I am looking for a movie. Good job. Stay focused.

Hover over the 'download' link and you'll see the full release name :)
Oh nice tip.
But still not great from a UX perspective. It would definitely be a plus if this is added.
Some method to let other users curate the content would be great too. On the TPB this can be done at looking at the colored skull or the comments. Improving on this method would be great. I don't know whether linking to a release site is practical and desirable?
EDIT: also order by date. If I type hunger, hunger games should be on top.

#39A lot of torrent movie downloaders check for the "type of" print available - CamRip, Blue Ray RIP, DV RIP etc. It would be great if you could display these after the search goes through. It would make the movie download decision 1-click.

#40NICE! It would be nice if I knew the rip quality of the trackers though, I'm not gonna blindly download a crappy telesync without knowing

The only reason I still use tpb is the comments will usually let you know if a torrent is of poor quality, passworded, etc. Consider adding peer ratings for video and audio quality.
