Show HN: I built a IMDB for all kinds of micro-creators

As for the idea: Isn't IMDB a site where you look up who made a movie, who played in it etc? This seems more like a directory? I like the idea of a directory for micro-creators.

As for the website: It feels a bit strange.

Scrolling is somewhat clunky. As if my computer was slow, but it isn't.

The scrollbar sometimes does not work.

I clicked on "Spotify" then all buttons stopped working. Reloaded the page and couldn't reproduce it.

I see it is made with Flutter. This is my first time looking at a Flutter site. Are all Flutter sites like this?

It's built in flutter which means the web experience is... janky. The first load is broken for me (parts of the text doesn't render, sometimes parts of the background is just grey where it obviously shouldn't be). Scrolling feels off and doesn't work with arrow keys, home/end and page up/down. Every click for me has a large noticeable delay, even for things that don't do network calls. Accessibility is basically non-existent even when enabling flutters a11y feature. The scrollbar is not the native one, so it doesn't work the way I'm used to and if my pointer is all the way to the left I can't grab it.

I'm not convinced one can build good webapps with flutter.

I like the design, but I don't really get what I'm supposed to do or what these things shown to me are. Are they like a meta-playlist of creators on other platforms? Why can there only be 5 in them?

MySpace vibes, I have absolutely no idea what's going on! (take that as a positive or a negative depending on what you're going for here)

All the images are insanely pixelated, if you can't get hi-res probably want to rethink the design around that limitation

I don’t get what this is. How do I search the db? All I see is “test post” and links to 4 unrelated pieces of content?

Damn, I love this. Information is dense and clustered, edges are sharp and it all feels so _human_. I can't stand the uncanny valley, fake minimalism lots-of-whitespace flat design bullshit that has taken over the web. This feels good to traverse through. Found a nice boxing channel I hadn't seen before

I guess the initial page load size is huge on desktop (31MB due to the big added list compared to mobile), because you cannot use lazy loading in flutter via `<img loading="lazy">` or similar?

If there is an option to do that I think it would be nice.

I am unable to scroll through the site with arrow keys, page up/down or middle click.

oh no why did you hijack scrolling?

I like the idea, I'm enjoying scrolling through (on laptop) it looking for content. I like being able to pick content by category and medium (i.e. substack about film, youtube about crypto etc.)

I'm not sure what the Plus button does.

Something's wrong with all links - when I hover over it it doesn't tell me where it'll take me if I click on it.

The graphic on top with the fake smartphones showing different feeds is confusing. What is it showing? is it clickable?

I'm very much not old, but now I know what it feels like to be 70. A little explainer about how to use the website would go a long way I think.

I'm actually looking forward to this being improved because I did eventually figure out what it is and I would really use it

can you explain how is this work? / how people should use it?/when?

The idea sounds worthwhile, but going to the site I can't really understand what it is or what I'm supposed to do

I hate where all the links take me (big social media platforms) but I like how personable the list feels.

For anyone else viewing on mobile, I had to switch to desktop to see the creators, filters, and search.

Using it is a terrible experience, scrolling feels laggy, scrollbar barely works, it behaves like i'm on a mobile device. it feels so sluggish.

you can't select any text, you can't right click and open links in new tab.

Stumbled across a great animation substack with stories about Richard Williams that I would never have found otherwise. Thanks! FWIW I love the aesthetic of the site - it reminds me of the weird early web.

Is it a prank? three plus buttons on each card that do nothing? unreadable text? nightmare fuel text pattern backgrounds? unruled spacing?

Do the buttons at the bottom actually do anything?

Cool design, needs some refinement. Keep at it.

This is a great idea but the UX needs a rethink.

ugly ugly design

hi, i'm one of the two co-founders. it's all very much a MVP at the moment, works on desktop. mobile is coming soon, sign up the newsletter if you're interested in being notified. appreciate all the feedback!
