Friendspire 2.0 - Find better recommendations for what to watch, read or eat

Hey ?makers, what's new since this was posted some months ago?

Great idea! How does your prediction algorithm work? Can I choose my favourite series and get several series I would like to watch? 🤔

Hello Product Hunt 👋 We are !Friendspire, and we are super excited to share our community with you. We wanted to share a little bit of our story, but if you want to jump directly to learning more about the product (it’s all good) you can check out Zach from Youtube’s recent review 🙏 Last year my co-founder @Morten_veith_schroeder and I quit our jobs to start Friendspire 😰 We worked day and night to get the product ready, and we were pumped to launch!!! Then we did … and we just didn’t get the retention we wanted (or needed) 😔 Something HAD to change, and we quickly realized we didn’t have the answers. But we thought we knew who might… There were some users that seemed to keep using Friendspire. So we reached out, and started having conversations with them about what they liked - and what they didn’t. We started building our product specifically for them... That meant a pivot away from “Social Media” towards what we call a “Social Tool”. Focusing on creating a truly great “single player experience”, that focuses more squarely on solving the problem of finding a great recommendation - be it the movie for Sunday night or the podcast for the Monday commute. We saw that our users love of Friendspire grew, and so did our overall community: New users were 3x as likely to become retained. But we also saw that many more users started flowing in, and in just the last week we have welcomed more than 10.000 new Friendspirers 💜 We have a long, and hard way to go, but one thing is clear: We need our users to show us the way. It also became abundantly clear from working with our "super" users, that it was not the Social Media savvy youngster who loved Friendspire. Instead it’s the person that has a true and genuine interest in finding great things! Then we realized: that kind of describes the PH community. So we wanted to share Friendspire with you - as a way to find great things (in categories PH doesn’t cover) 😽 Friendspire is already free, so sure we can give you 50% off or the first month free, but it doesn’t help much 😅 Instead a few pro tips, and a couple of lists I love. “Pro” tips: 🔍 Find great recommendations by quickly filtering for genre and streaming. “Comedy” + “Netflix” = You are now movie night hero 🦸 🔖 Replace the confusing note on your phone, and instead save it all in one place 🤝 Follow awesome tastemakers like Eater or IMDb Lists I love: 🎥 “The 50 Best Movies of All Time” (https://link.friendspire.com/Qsl...) How many have you watched? 📚 "Truly Fascinating Modern Biographies" (I highly recommend Educated, Shoe Dog, Elon Musk, and Born A Crime) (https://link.friendspire.com/ubZ...) 🎙️ My co-founder Morten has a pretty badass list of “Podcasts you gotta listen to” (https://link.friendspire.com/ECt...) We hope you will check out our app and help show us the way with some feedback 🙏

I have been using Friendspire for well over 6 months now and I am a huge fan! It's very easy to find the topics I like to review - but I what I love the most is the recommendations I get from friends.. I found 3 new tv-shows and a bunch of podcasts.. It's been a livesaver during the lockdowns...

Been using Friendspire since early days, love the product - and love the fact that I can collect all my favorits and 'want to's' in one place - Movies, TV series, TV Shows, podcasts, etc!

Interesting to build 'micro-communities' here, and learn what others are learning. "Birds of the same feather flock together" Would love to know what content other inspirational people are consuming on their free time

Very Nice app

I have been using Friendspire for some month now and I am a huge fan! Found 3 new series recommended by Friends and I would probably not have watched them without the recommendation. Friendspire really found something needed in the app market!

Such a great app! It has made my life so much easier saving me for hours of scrolling and I have found new favorites that I would never imagine I would like.

Big fan of this! Using the app regularly to see what’s trending across multiple platforms (for tv shows, movies and podcasts) and get “friendspired” for new books to read and restaurants/bars to visit. Join this hunt!
