Over this Christmas break, while discussing the best episodes of Frasier with my mother (as we tend to do when I get to see her), I thought about coming up with something that's less arbitrary than 1-10 ratings. The result is TV Sort. It just uses a sorting algorithm, but... it's human powered. When the algorithm needs to compare two items, it asks you to compare them, and with that you end up with a full, thoroughly sorted episode list. It uses TMDB, IMDB, and Wikipedia to extract episode information for any show, to help jog your memory when making episode comparisons. It was a fun little…

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 kept running into the same problem: trying to find something new to watch, opening multiple streaming apps, and Googling titles one by one because the apps don't tell you if something is actually worth watching. So I built What to Watch, which aggregates content across major streaming services and reduces discovery to a simple Watch or Skip decision using IMDb and community ratings. I hadn’t written code since high school — this was built over ~400 iterations using Claude and Replit. Still very early and mostly trying to learn how people actually decide what to watch and how broad this use…
