Looks great so far! Are you planning to open source it? I'm sure, many people would be glad to contribute, including myself :)
We didn't really expect this much traffic/good feedback. In the next week or two we'll be polishing the site and adding some much requested improvements. We need to collect our thoughts now and see what can be done concerning the Netflix integration.
This is a really good idea, and a useful app. Only suggestion: Number of ratings/reviews should hold more weight in the sorting algorithm. e.g. Hollywood Buddha (2003) shouldn't be the RT Audience Rating second highest ranked film all time.
"Top movies" take into account the number of votes and use the same algorithm as IMDB does for their top 250.
"Strictly by rating" does what it says. It sorts movies strictly by rating, and only includes movies that have at least ~8 reviews on RT, ~25000 on IMDB.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The stack is backend: Postgre/Unicorn/RoR frontend: SCSS/CoffeeScript/jQuery (no css/js frameworks) We've been working on this for the past couple of months in our spare time. TBH I have no idea how many hours it took. The login was broken for some users, we think it's fixed now but were not sure...it's hard to reproduce the error. Please tell us if it's working now!
Just cleared my cache and tried logging in via twitter and facebook again - still no luck. Nothing shows in the inspector either. Are you using any CDN service? Might take some time to invalidate the cache if so. It's pretty impressive that you guys hand-rolled the front-end, any reason why you didn't go w/ bootstrap or similar since it's supposed to save you time? (at least on paper) Personally that's what I tend to…
Same goes for JS. Frameworks offer convenience at the expense of flexibility. Movieo only has ~1000 lines of handwritten javascript... I'd never use JS frameworks for such a small project. And I'd never use CSS frameworks for any project ever.
That's my opinion, but I'm also known for hating on frameworks all the time so...yeah xD
One issue is that i am not able to actually login with Twitter or Google+. Facebook seems to be working Google http://movieo.me/auth/failure?message=csrf_detected&strategy... Dont recall twitters. WHAT i would love to have is a way to mark the movies i have seen and perhaps filter them out from the list ! That would make my life easier in picking up movies ! Other than that, this looks amazing. Great work
Hello! Could you please try loging in now and tell us if it works.
Just that facebook login has vanished
This is a really good idea, and a useful app. Only suggestion: Number of ratings/reviews should hold more weight in the sorting algorithm. e.g. Hollywood Buddha (2003) shouldn't be the RT Audience Rating second highest ranked film all time.
There are two rate by options "Top Movies" and "Strictly by rating". "Top movies" take into account the number of votes and use the same algorithm as IMDB does for their top 250. "Strictly by rating" does what it says. It sorts movies strictly by rating, and only includes movies that have at least ~8 reviews on RT, ~25000 on IMDB.
Heads up... seems to be two tags on your home page.
Really love the site and bookmarked. For an anime movie fan it's tough to find a nice place that does all the things you guys do in a user-friendly way, so this is epic. Highest audience rated animation from Japan between 2000 and 2014? Bam, there you go. That's how you help people. :) So thank you for making this. If you need any extra help / feedback in return, lemme know.
Looks good, but the one feature that I find lacking (in this and other similar apps, like http://omive.com ) is the ability to "hide" movies I've already seen. Because otherwise I have to go through pages and pages to find a movie I haven't seen, let alone consider watching.
Multiple people said this, it's a shame how we didn't think of this before! We'll be adding this feature during the next couple of days! Thanks for pointing it out!
