Is there a tv series tracker on the fediverse ?
I'm no longer satisfied with the one I use and since I am already using bookwyrme for my readings, I was wondering if I couldn't track my shows throught the fediverse.
It could be cool to have a fediverse alternative for IMDb or Letterbox. I used to track/rate movies and episodes of a show I'd watched on IMDb (the episodes mostly so I knew where I left off) but no longer want to deal with websites stuffed with ads. Would love to see something like this for the fedi but haven't come across anything.
This has come up a few times. I'm just drawing my notes together on previous discussions but in summary:
- The BookWyrm devs reckon it would be easy enough to alter their code for other uses but they don't have the time.
- There are occasional posts about folks looking for similar services for film and TV, vinyl and music, etc.
- I think it might be worthwhile first creating a more modular GeneralWyrm (with a wyrm/worm wearing a general's hat as a symbol) that could then be modified for other uses: ScreenWyrm, MusicWyrm, ActionFigureWyrm, etc.
Features for a ScreenWyrm would include:
- Standard IMDb/Trakt features like voting, reviewing, etc.
- Lists - with the option to import from IMDb/Trakt
- Something like Trakt's Kodi tracker
- Release calendar for movies and TV shows. I currently use something (Episode Tracker?) to bring TV shows into my calendar app but it isn't really fine-grained enough for me but it's good enough for now.
I wished I got notified for such a message. I'm not a developer myself but I'm sure I could find some skill that would be useful to help at that. The ground code is layout and you layout a plan. You even have a mascot. Soon or later it will happened.
Were did you hear about the BookWyrms reckoning ? On GitHub ? Lemmy ? Mastodon ?
Too bad.
What would be the purpose of connecting such a list to the fediverse?
I guess this could like create communities in lemmy which would be the books and posts as threads. Kind of like a way to have lots of niche communities about these books that (hopefully) will be somewhat-active. Actually a good idea if you ask me.
If I have the time, I might try to do an anime tracker that works like I described above in summer.
Same as bookwyrm, presumably. For people to share their activity and opinions on different shows and actors.
Share your recent view with your friend and do the kind of connection social media allow around the theme of tv series and movies.
I have to admit than I almost never use these functionalities in my current tracker but most of online tracker option include them so I guess that there is a public for it.I don't share my Bookwyrme reading on Lemmy either but maybe one day if it comes in the conversation, I could point to the right book through some integrated reading note rather that a link to amazon or somethin'.
not an alternative to tracking the shows but libremdb is a imdb front end you might find interesting.
Thank you.
I would absolutely LOVE that !
That's not federated.
