Description

Welcome

Welcome to the testing page for BingeWorthy 2.

I've sent messages to people who rated a fair number of programs in the first version of BingeWorthy. I'd like you to try the new version and report any observations or issues you've seen. Your help is much appreciated. ;-)

What's new?

  1. First, it should work as it did before. You scroll through a list of programs and rate them.

  2. You can now see who else liked the programs you like, or hated the ones you hated. The theory being if they liked something you did, they might have some ideas for other programs you'd like. It's also interesting to see other people's lists.

  3. You can add your own programs, without having to get them approved. You enter the URL of a Metacritic page for the program, we read the Open Graph info from the page, and if everything works, and the problem isn't already there, we'll just add it. This allows the system to grow without requiring a lot of negotiation. If Metacritic likes it, we do too.

  4. There won't be a need for a separate BingeWorthy database for movies and perhaps other types of media. In this version the type info is just a field in the database.

  5. There are lots of little tweaks that should make it work better. I basically rewrote the whole thing, but kept the UI. I've learned a lot about this subject area in the last couple of years.

Where is it?

The new version is here.

http://bingeworthy.io/tv/

You can bookmark it. Once I'm satisfied that everything works well enough, we'll redirect from that URL to the permanent URL.

The beta is public as of August 16

The announcement is here.
