I made a movie recommendation app based on your mood

The website looks nice and is clear to navigate, but I think your messaging is off. This has nothing to do with mood or recommendations, it’s just a list of movies separated by genre. It’s not even an app, but a website.

Which, again, nothing wrong with any of that. Except your description is off, meaning the people who are looking for what you described will be disappointed and bounce, and the people who are not looking for what you describe won’t even give it a chance. Everybody loses.

On UI issues: on mobile, the fixed banner at the top covers part of the messaging.

Thank you for your feedback, latexr! I appreciate your honest perspective. I'll work on refining the messaging to better align with the functionality and improve the user experience. Your insights on the mobile UI are invaluable, and I'll make sure to address the banner issue. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts!

I liked the way you added YouTube videos of trailers. This is a nice project, similar one I saw on Peerlist Project Spotlight where someone added a book recommendation based on mood. You should also launch this on Peerlist.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the YouTube trailer feature. The idea of adding book recommendations based on mood sounds fantastic! Launching on Peerlist is a great suggestion – I'll definitely look into it. Your feedback and support mean a lot!
