Show HN: All in One Mediatracker
Ive been working on this for the last 4 months. Its a tv tracker, movie tracker, game tracker, whatever media people want tracker all in one app.
At the end of november last year I tried to find a tracker for my tv shows. I watched a lot and Ive been doing so for like 15 years by now. There are 100% banger shows I watched at a random weekend in 2018 and totally forgot about.
So I tried to find a solution to just have a simple list, but I didnt really like any of the existing solutions. So I am building my own. Especially rewatches or rereads are really mid on the existing sites.
Been pretty fun, im up to like 175 registered users from some reddit posts, but its still early on.
Its built with c# in the backend, and the new react router 7 in framework mode on the frontend. Pretty happy that the timing aligned and I wasnt forced into NextJs for SSR / SEO purposes. RR7 has been a much better experience. It just works and gets out of your way.
The more im in this space, the worse the existing websites seem. Even Imdb. Why dont I see related titles when I check out The Dark Knight? Why dont I see its part of a trilogy? Why dont I see other batman movies? Why dont I see the gotham tv show anywhere? Just seems weird for an entertainment site. They have the data...
Check it out, tell me what you think

Is the Chaos of Trump, Like the Vorlon/Shadow War in Babylon 5
Just re-watched Babylon 5. It is amazingly relevant to todays world.
There is a coup on earth by a right wing leader, there is mind control (social media manipulation), there are arguments about order-versus-chaos.
As much as the Shadows were presented as the bad guys, the argument they made for 'chaos' as needed for change, makes me wonder if we can take a positive view of todays Trump World as a method of 'creation through destruction'.
Of course, the Shadows lost, and history seems to indicate that constant slow growth is better than revolutionary destruction.
But the Shadows in the show made me have some doubts, they had a convincing argument. And maybe that argument that there can be good from chaos, can provide solace.
Of course, it would be nice if there were some Vorlons around to help today. Seems like Shadows are winning.
Since the end of WW2, we've had a lot of stability 'order', the Vorlons side. Would a return to global war, somehow have benefits? The Shadow argument is that we've become to soft, and more chaos is needed.
