Show HN: I built an auto-scheduler to help me decide what I'm watching

I kept making watchlists but rarely watching anything and I spent more time browsing than watching. After stepping away from streaming services for a bit, I realized I missed having a TV schedule.

So, I built this to help me decide what I’m watching ahead of time by auto-scheduling episodes or movies into time slots. So far, it’s worked better than a watchlist. I actually look forward to watching things now.

This is a working but early version. I’d love feedback on the UX/UI, how easy it is to use, any criticism, and whether this approach holds up for other people.

NOTE: It is free to use for 7 days and there are no ads.

It redirects me immediately to a Login/Signup page. No homepage, no info about this? No pricing page before I sign up for the free trial?

    You’re right and that’s on me.

    The Show HN link went straight to the app instead of the homepage, which makes it look gated. I’m fixing the flow rn so that a homepage explains the idea and then links to the app before sign-up.

    I appreciate you for calling it out.
