Hey Product Hunt Community 👋🏾
I'm so excited to introduce our latest and greatest version of Film Finder ⚡️ which was built to save you from endlessly searching for the next film to watch!
As the founder, I've worked tirelessly speaking with users, gathering insights, iterating on the design, and making product trade-offs so that you can find great films quickly.
💎 There are thousands of films released each year which are distributed across hundreds of platforms. It's so easy to miss out on great films and to continue watching average films because that's what's trending. Film Finder has helped so many users uncover 'gems' through our personalised recommendation system.
💬 We've been doing interviews on the street asking people the longest time it's taken them to look for a film to watch. The average amount of time is 1-2 hours. That's approximately the length of a feature film! We're determined to cut that search time right down to 2-5 minutes. Our key KPIs are based on quality and speed so watch this space and give us feedback to help us achieve that!

Hey @samuel_csv
Struggling to find your next movie night pick? Film Finder promises to unveil hidden gems and blockbusters you'll love. Can it truly discover your perfect film?
Interesting, finally a non-business saas product that I can actually resonate with and use often. Wondering how different would this be from letterbox's app? If you'd add some gamified scoring and movie reviewing mechanism to make it more social than just a suggestion app, it'd be amazing!
🌟 Hi @samuel_csv , congratulations on launching such an innovative and user-centric platform!
🎬 The ability to find personalized film recommendations quickly is a fantastic solution to the common problem of endless searching. How does Film Finder's recommendation system tailor suggestions to each user's preferences and viewing habits?
📂 The "My Collections" feature sounds like a powerful tool for organizing and discovering films. Can you share more about how users can customize their collections and what kind of tags and filters are available?
🔍 With the extensive search capabilities, what kind of advanced filters or search criteria can users utilize to find exactly what they're looking for?
📈 It's exciting to see your focus on reducing search time while maintaining high-quality recommendations. Looking forward to seeing how Film Finder evolves and helps film enthusiasts discover their next favorite movies! Keep up the great work!
This is great, last sunday I was getting bored and couldn't finalize on what I should watch. I guess I don't have to worry now. Congratulations And thank you.
Congrats on the launch of Film Finder! It makes discovering the perfect film so much more convenient and fun. Excited to try it out!

Thank you Joseph! It doesn't today, but as we grow, we reckon that'll be on the cards......
Interesting app - looks pretty simple to use. What's the algo like driving the reco engine? How does the gem finder work?
Congrats on launching @samuel_csv !
