I designed and built Ceeen — an app to track the movies and shows you've seen, save what you want to watch, and share your reactions with the people whose taste you trust.

Unlike

It's not another social feed, and it's not IMDb — though it borrows a few good parts of both. Rotten Tomatoes is fine for a critic score, but I care more about my sister's take. Letterboxd is fine for a doom scroll, but does it connect you with the people and the movies that matter? Been there, seen that.

Share or not

You can rate without a comment, or comment with control over who sees it. You can share optionally to Discover or your profile, or keep it private and share elsewhere via text, group chat, DM.

What it does

  • Track what you've seen; save what's next
  • Read reactions from people you trust
  • Rate without a word, or comment — you choose who sees
  • Share to Discover, your profile, or a private link
  • Private by default — unlisted until you share

  • An extensive relational data model for people, titles, and taste
  • Third-party APIs enriching the catalog in real time
  • Generated actor avatars and dynamic Open Graph previews for great shared links
  • Moderation and per-user privacy controls built in

How it started

I built a first version in late 2024 and didn't quite finish it. But I kept using it anyway — to track what I'd seen and what I wanted to watch — and it turned out to be an unexpectedly good way to discover new things. So I spun it back up, added some polish. Now it's ready to share.
