What's
New

Keeping track of what we ship. CutStream is a side project that gets better when I have free time — here's what's changed lately.

Discover Page & Content Hub

  • Launched the Discover page — real-time trending, popular, now playing, and top-rated movie grids powered by our weekly TMDB corpus updates.
  • Added How It Works page explaining the AI taste engine in plain English.
  • Published in-depth guides on AI movie recommendations, Netflix alternatives, and why it's hard to find something to watch.
  • Fixed canonical URLs and added Open Graph metadata across all pages for better SEO and social sharing.
  • Moved Discover page to read from our own movie corpus — zero external API calls on page load, faster and more reliable.

Initial Launch

  • Launched CutStream on Product Hunt.
  • Core taste engine live — pick 3-5 movies, get AI-powered personalized recommendations.
  • Magic-link email sign-in via Better Auth, no password required.
  • Custom movie lists — create, edit, and share curated collections.
  • Taste profile dashboard showing your liked/noped stats and AI taste engine status.
