People are building another websites for this kind of stuff, obviously, it's easier to monetise. But what about being subscribed to a Public Calendar, that you can import to your Apple mail client or Gmail?

@greghadala A calendar with all the releases on it just becomes noise that you ignore (at least I would). You can create an account and favorite movies, if enough people start doing this, I'll generate an ICAL of just the movies you favorited, that you can add to your calendar. This would be much more useful I think.

@mubashariqbal maybe reducing the clutter to your current location or the closest cinema? but this require additional APIs I presume

@greghadala Yes would be more of a ticketing based API. Also finding where/when to see a movie is a different problem than the one I'm trying to solve. Most of the movie theatre chains (and MoviePass) have solved this pretty well with their apps already I think (at least in the US).

Last year I wrote a website for myself (https://medium.com/@mubashariqba...) to track movies that were coming out. I was tired of the junk on most movie sites that made it really difficult to track what movies were being released. A few other people expressed an interest in using the website, so I decided to open it up to everyone. Since I have an interest in automation (https://willrobotstakemyjob.com/) I wanted to see if I could fully automate the operation of the website. I think I've managed to do this. The content is collected via API, website changes are shared to social media, and emails are delivered weekly to newsletter subscribers all automatically. I wrote more about how I did this here: https://medium.com/makesideproje...

Great launch @mubashariqbal! Even though I'm not a big movie-goer in theaters, I always find myself missing when things are released thereafter. I could certainly see using something like this to keep an eye on movies that pique my interest and make a notation to see. I actually used to used something like this (I think it was called SideReel) to keep track of new TV episodes in college. These trackers are way underrated -- in an age where we're inundated with media to consume, sometimes a simple, useful tool like this beats out all the other more complicated user experiences. Awesome job!

@adammarx13 Thanks Adam. Feel the same way, and keeping things simple and uncluttered is very important for me.

Fascinating how much you're pushing automation on this one. Even on the user acquisition / marketing side with SEO (a personal favorite 🤓)!! The product seems fairly robust now especially if you want to maintain the cleanliness, is there anything else you want to add?

@moeamaya I'm pretty happy with the feature set. I think future enhancements would likely be around international roll out. IE, supporting dates and localizing to different country/languages.

Looks neat. But really painful when I favourite a movie, it just reloads the page. Use an Ajax call instead ?

@new_user_7c50d5eb16 Definitely, will get this fixed tonight.

Nice initiative! Though pretty frustrating to scroll through, tapping on "Add to Favorite" to then be scrolled back to the very top again...? Is that a bug?

@lindgrendesign Need to get the ajax call in there instead of refreshing the page, will fix this tonight.

Hi, awesome work. What a coincidence, I wanted to build this too! I have a couple of areas in UI/UX I have noticed that still need improvement. I can help if you want. Your stack is Laravel + Vue right?

Great idea @mubashariqbal . Any plans to add RSS or Atom feeds? Would be very useful to connect to other "news" aggregation systems.

@gootik I have an RSS feed for the trailers already, and not sure how useful a feed is for all movie releases, but I might make one for individual users for the movies they have favorited.
