24 alternatives to Couldn't go to the bathroom during a movie, so I made a free app
I was watching "Longlegs" yesterday in the movie theater and couldn't find a good time for a bathroom break. So, I made a free app today that tells you the best time to step out during a movie without missing anything important. Check it out and enjoy it for free! You can start a timer that updates even when your phone is locked. See current movies playing in theaters. I’ve added stuff by hand, so please don’t scream if it’s not 100% right. Feedback welcome!

I've just published my app and I would love to have more feedback on it. I got the idea when I was busy moving around several projects during my last semester. And I always don't know which project I should work on next. Even worse, whenever I'm busy with something, I no longer have time to "read book", "go jogging" etc. That's when I thought it would be great if there is an app that keeps track of all the tasks that you want to do and habits that you want to make. And here it is! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKVr0k9Hax0…

Flickle▲6Hi HN, I built this because I got frustrated with movie trivia games that focus on actors' names or obscure facts. I wanted a game that rewards visual memory and cinematography knowledge. It’s a Wordle-like mechanic: You get 6 frames. Frame 1 is obscure (lighting, composition detail). Frame 6 is the main scene. Tech Stack: Next.js + Firebase. I spent the last week optimizing the performance. It currently hits 100 on Speed Insights and serves as a fully installable PWA. No ads, no sign-up wall. Would love to hear your feedback on the difficulty curve, especially the new TV Series mode.

I built FilmLink (https://filmlink.io) because I wanted a movie version of the Wiki Game. To win, you connect films by linking actors to their roles: Movie -> Actor -> Movie -> Actor. Today is the official launch! It's completely free to play and features: Daily Puzzle: A new challenge every day with a global leaderboard. Multiplayer (Beta): Race against friends in real-time to see who can finish fastest, or who can do it in the fewest clicks. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the gameplay. I'm actively collecting feedback on the multiplayer experience and keeping an eye out for…
