If you want people to use it for movie quotes, that I would focus building features around that. Like creating sharing URLs from user selected portions of a script that also have good link previews.
Or even an image generator with the quote on it.

It has that, just haven't enabled it in the code, but yes, that was my thought as well :)

The yellow logo and the font are reminiscent of IMDB, I feel like :)
Personally, I really like the navigation with multiple layers. Seasons, episodes and scenes. It was super easy to navigate through them. Most of the time having this many layers is too much, here I appreciate it.

What is your goal for this site? Community-led? Monetized? With ads or subscription?
How much work is it for you to add another script?

Can you elaborate on the plans you mentioned in the "PS"? I didn't fully get your intention.

I'm curious, where do you get your scripts from? In the past, when I wanted to read a specific line, I just googled and was sometimes lucky to find a plain text copy of it.

@SimJoSt Wow, thank you very much for that throughout review. Actually, regarding the layers, I was going to put the season and episode bar in a overlay that needs to be clicked on, and just keep the scene bar.

The goal is for it to become the place people go when they look for exact movie or tv quotes, or when they want to understand a story better.

Example of movies people historically have had difficulties to understand are Matrix, Inception, Mulholland Drive.

100% ad driven down the line.

The PS is just about taking this and making it into a free to host framework for large content websites. This site is completely free to host and will be up to like 50000 articles and 1M page views. The beauty of that is that you don't spend money besides on the domain until you know you are profitable.

The structure of the site would work for ecom as well, so a free to host and run Shopify competitor.

If you know some other video editors, I would try to reach out to them. During travel I met one that sometimes needed someone to help out when she got sick or wanted to go on vacation. She wanted to recommend trustworthy freelancers to her clients, so the pressure is not fully on her.

Thanks Joda for the tip! I don’t know any video editors at the moment, but I’ll keep in mind that networking with them might be a good way to find work. I really appreciate it!

True, I especially like the approach of reversing the perspective to inform your decision. It is almost always valuable in all aspects of life.

Thanks for the tip @ben, that worked. If the view already exists, an edit button would be helpful.

The function to attend or remove your rsvp is not reactive, in comparison to almost everything else on the site.
Clicking the button does perform the action, however, only reloading shows the updated status. At first, I thought I had issues with my network connection :)

Will look into that. It should be reactive, but maybe I broke it somehow :D

There are no comments on meetups.
Yes, messaging the host is a feature, which relies on the Telegram integration which not everyone might have set up.
Asking a question, trying to find other people attending or making a suggestion for a time or location, would be great.

Once created, they don't seem to be editable. So updated times, description or locations are not possible. Especially, since there are no comments, there is no other way to facilitate that.
It would be great to be able to edit the meetup and notify all attending users.

They can be edited by appending /edit to the URL or something (can’t remember exactly) but maybe @marc can add a button to the page somewhere only for the event owner

That's fair. Instead of proposing a hard date and time, as well as a location, I just wanted to gauge interest. Especially, since I am not native to Paris and don't know the good spots to meet.

Just proposing the meetup and leaving the exact location or time up for discussion, would be great.

Depending on the overlap of Nomadlist users, there could be and optional automatic update sync?
Or the wip.co site/PWA doesn't just propose changing timezones, but also location?

I agree, new features shouldn't discriminate against inactive users. However, there are different states of inactivity. A lot of the profiles I checked, had socials connected. Telegram and Twitter. Most of them were deleted by now.
So there was no way to get in touch with them and I would assume they don't follow anything on wip.co, if they profile is drastically out of date for multiple years.
The direct message feature request could be an interesting part of the solution.
