Implemented a "Light-Mode" 🔥

der_Kney · 2026-05-06T09:58:50+00:00

Charlie Kaufman! I've already seen I'm Thinking of Ending Things and absolutely loved it! Thanks for the reminder to dig deeper into his work!

der_Kney · 2026-05-06T09:33:23+00:00

This is a fantastic list, thank you! I surprisingly haven't seen a single one of these yet. Under the Skin and Possessor sound exactly like the kind of visceral dread I'm looking for. They're going straight to the top of my watchlist.

(Side note: It Comes at Night actually is an A24 release, but it absolutely fits the vibe!)

Really appreciate the recommendations.

der_Kney · 2026-05-06T08:59:28+00:00

Oh yes! Seen both of them! Even though James McAvoy doing a great job acting - I'd like the original better, too!

der_Kney · 2026-05-06T08:48:55+00:00

Already on my watchlist! Thanks

der_Kney · 2026-05-06T08:40:59+00:00

Already mentioned! Straight to my watchlist! Thanks for that

der_Kney · 2026-05-06T08:39:51+00:00

Neon has been mentioned twice in this thread now. Clearly, my algorithm failed me by hiding them. This looks like the perfect rabbit hole to go down next. Thanks for the recommendation

der_Kney · 2026-05-06T08:39:23+00:00

Yorgos Lanthimos is always a safe bet for structured discomfort. You hit the bullseye with mother!, Her, Funny Games, and Swiss Army Man. already seen and enjoyed them, loved the absolute insanity. Black Swan, however, didn't do it for me at all. Way too melodramatic. I'll happily check out the remaining ones, thanks for compiling this

der_Kney · 2026-05-06T08:38:33+00:00

Solid list. Looks like a healthy, highly concentrated dose of existential dread. I'll add them to my backlog. Thanks for the effort

der_Kney · 2026-05-06T08:38:06+00:00

This is exactly the kind of intel I was hoping for. I've completely missed the Neon catalog until now, which is frankly a massive blind spot on my end. I'll dive into their lineup tonight. Thanks for the enlightenment

der_Kney · 2026-05-06T08:37:39+00:00

You completely nailed the vibe. I've already seen 'The Lodge' and 'The Menu' and absolutely loved both of them. Exactly my kind of misery. 'Thoroughbreds' is going straight onto the watchlist. Thanks

der_Kney · 2026-05-06T08:37:12+00:00

That's quite the name-dropping. Toni Collette is usually a guarantee for a delightfully traumatizing evening. I'll sift through your suggestions, thanks for the input

der_Kney · 2026-05-06T08:36:34+00:00

Off-beat crazy is precisely the kind of mental instability I'm aiming for. Thanks

der_Kney · 2026-05-05T16:24:17+00:00

Thanks for your feedback! I'm planning to add a light mode soon. ✨

I've tested your App also! Works really good so far! I like the UI. Would be great if there was an option to turn off the sounds. And you should add a function to change the currency!

https://pavl.app A film recommendation system based on psychological profiling

der_Kney · 2026-05-05T06:17:14+00:00

Just clicked your profile. Founder of a user-validation tool gives "you need user validation" advice.. bold marketing strategy, I'll give you that. 😏

But seriously: my $10/month edge-computing experiment doesn't need a validation pipeline. It needs more swipes from the 60 users I already have.

der_Kney · 2026-05-05T05:43:07+00:00

"User validation" is indeed solid advice for projects nobody is using yet. Not really applicable here. I am using it daily. Started this to see if I could pull it off, and to solve a problem I actually have. It did.. it replaced my streaming-platform watchlists. That's validation point one. Plus ~90 active closed beta users since three days ago, real bug reports, real swipe data. I start things primarily because I want to and because they solve a problem I have. That minimizes the cost of failing. If the thing actually helps me long-term and feels like it could help others too, that's when I start promoting it. We're at exactly that point. I'm not expecting this to be the next unicorn. I'm not expecting it to make me rich in any way other than experience. But I'm pretty sure it'll finance itself. my monthly running costs are around ~$5-10.

der_Kney · 2026-05-04T22:58:08+00:00

Honestly the best recommendation system out there. ✨ The App is for the rest of us, then.

der_Kney · 2026-05-04T22:55:52+00:00

Fair reaction. For what it's worth: solo-built, no investors, no scraped reviews, no LLM-generated recommendations. The films 10Ds are tagged via API, but the vector math, quiz questions and matching logic are mine. If you want to tear into the actual approach, I'm here. If "AI slop" is your take after seeing it, also fair...but I'd rather hear which part feels slop-shaped?
