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.

That’s not federated.
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 ?

Yeah, there is a need for this, at some point the idea will gain enough traction. I keep jumping into discussions as it helps me spread the word and it is useful for firming up my ideas.
BookWyrm is written in Python which I don’t know enough about to start messing with the code but I have been assembling my thoughts, making notes and it should mean there’s planning done to make this work.

You can follow my larger discussions on the topic back in time:

Then that last one links to earlier discussion:
If this idea started to gain momentum, I’d have a word directly with the devs and see if there are any tips they’d have.
