Wordy▲231Hey HN, I'm Sándor. I built Wordy because I kept pausing Netflix to look up words in a dictionary. So I made a subtitle tool for myself, and it kind of snowballed from there. What it does: You watch short clips from real movies and TV shows, then get quizzed on the vocabulary you just heard. The app tracks every word automatically and adapts to your level. 20+ languages. How it evolved: Started as an iOS app for interactive streaming subtitles. Then I added curated video clips with quizzes. Then vocabulary tracking, spaced repetition, and personalized learning paths. Now it's iOS + Android +…

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 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…

Hi Hacker News, I'm excited to share a project I've been passionately working on in my spare time: AI Movie Finder (https://www.aimoviefinder.com). The idea was born out of a simple, yet frequent, frustration: having a movie on the tip of my tongue but being unable to recall the title. All I could remember were fragments – a specific scene, a snippet of dialogue, the general plot, or even just the mood it evoked. Traditional search engines often fell short with these kinds of abstract queries. So, I decided to build a solution. AI Movie Finder uses a natural language processing…
