24 alternatives to I built a monitor for AMC movie tickets
Reverse engineered the AMC GraphQL API to monitor for tickets to Oppenheimer, but the code should be fairly easy to modify to monitor other movies / formats / theatres. This was just a fun weekend project between a concert, Yankees game, and seeing the movie myself. I'm monitoring AMC Lincoln Square over at https://twitter.com/OppenheimerTix if you live in or near NYC and want to see the movie in 70MM, which I would highly recommend.
Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. Prices are shown for the 1 we have checked on their own sites, 1 of them free or with a free tier. I built a monitor for AMC movie tickets launched in 2023; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

Hey HN, I am the creator of senatestockwatcher.com and im finally happy to say that the same data that is filed from the House of Representatives is now live for everyone to watch, report against, and use. https://housestockwatcher.com When Senate Stock Watcher was released, the US was in the midst of an election year and after the COVID market crash the SEC had opened some investigations on 3 Senators for insider trading allegations. My interest in politics and finance lead me to build that website, but the number one question I always got was "where is the houses' data?" The…

Congressional trading data is relatively commoditized, but I couldn't find any open-source version with the features I wanted. The data is lagged (median 28 days from trade to disclosure, and 19% miss this deadline), but there's still interesting patterns to explore. Repo: https://github.com/kadoa-org/congress-trading-monitor Let me know if you have any suggestions for improvements!

There we were, like every other Friday night. I was finishing my glass of wine while pushing away my plate, and out pops the dreaded question. “What should we watch tonight?” She asks. I saw it coming. In fact, I always see it coming. Do I have an answer? Never. But I know how our night will go. We'll sit on the couch, open up the first streaming app, and start the dreaded doom scroll. “This one?” I'd ask. “No, we already watched it.” “How about this?” “I’m not into it.” And so it goes through the apps one by one until we run out of time and settle for a re-run of Sex and the City or The…

I've never posted on ShowHN before, but I wanted to share my Xmas 2025 project; to try a new approach to controlling our kids screen time. This also involved massively over-engineering a solution in order to play with a shiny new gadget (and avoid the in laws at Christmas, obviously) I've shared some learnings on AI coding with embedded devices, and how I approached the product design/hardware selection side of things. The Web App is at https://screenie.org - and I'm Open Sourcing the device and web app code later today (links to follow on that site)

People who makes films don't have it easy. In a typical scenario - the team that produced the film makes 15% of the topline revenues. The Distributor takes 35%. And the theatre (the exhibitor) takes 50%. So even in a scenario like Obsession where the movie is making a rocket ride, the filmmakers were capped at $50M (15M upfront + 15%). The Distributors and theatres get the upside of the $330 million. In the startup world, we get upset about appstores charging 30% :) The situation gets worse for Indie films and more so for people who are using AI tools to tell stories. Films that got made,…

Hi HN, When I was in FAANG, I despised ticketing. I was always the eng that refused to update. Then when I was a tech lead, I had the pain of pinging everyone for updates because they hated it too. Things would go out of date, and then no one would really know if we were on track. We also had little visibility into what the team was doing outside of pinging/standups. So I made an AI that looks at every commit you push and updates tickets for you. It can create tickets if there isn't one, update, leave comments, tag associated commits etc... Basically, it's an "AI Board Babysitter" so…

It works quite similar to sharing a cab. Instead of one large brand paying for an entire slot, multiple smaller brands share the screen rotation and split the cost. We already have blocked slots so you don't have to worry about not making it. The result is a much lower entry price while still getting your brand displayed in NYC Times Square, which you can post on your socials to gain trust and visibility. We have launched on PH as well and would love your feedback. I'm really excited for your brand to light up times square

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!

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.

TicketData▲1014 years ago, I launched my original version of TicketData via a Show HN. While the public site didn't get traction, the data proved valuable to those in the ticketing industry, and it became a B2B data product that's kept me busy ever since. I'm now relaunching the front-end site as a totally free and public tool for anyone to make smarter decisions when buying tickets for live events. The re-launched site shows live resale price charts (using data from sites like StubHub, Vivid Seats, SeatGeek, etc) that update as often as every few minutes. You can see price history for the cheapest…
