About · how to read this dashboard

What to watch next, matched to what you actually watch.

Ranked from Susan's real Netflix, Prime Video, BritBox, and PBS Masterpiece history — not a generic trending chart. Anyone with the link can read it; only Susan's Cowork sessions update it.

01

what it is

Ranks what to watch next from Susan's real, multi-year Netflix and Prime Video history — 190 titles since 2023, including BritBox and PBS Masterpiece — matched against her stated taste (spy, action, British procedurals; no sci-fi, fantasy, rom-coms). Also tracks premieres months ahead, and what she's watching or seeing right now.

Refreshes itself Monday mornings via a scheduled task, or sooner if Susan asks Claude to resync directly.

02

the stack

Static HTML, no backend, no build step — simpler infrastructure than the other two sites, not the same. Vinyl Scout and The Fitness Log both run real Netlify Functions with automated backups and health checks, on a GitHub repo that auto-deploys. This one deploys by hand (or by the Monday scheduled task) through Netlify's upload page instead, since that's the one deploy path this sandbox can actually reach.

A serverless backend was attempted — a Netlify Function backed by Netlify Blobs, to make dismissals sync instantly across devices instead of needing a chat round-trip. It built and bundled cleanly but Netlify confirmed, and its own docs confirm, that functions only deploy through Git-connected continuous deployment, not a manual zip upload. Closing that gap for real means connecting a GitHub repo to this Netlify project — a real infrastructure change, not something to fake with a documentation edit.

03

what's on the page

Right Now — what Susan's seeing in theaters and watching live this week.

Top Picks — ranked candidates with matched genre and shared cast as the rationale, dismissible with ×.

Taste Profile — signature vs. generic genres, actor affinity, and explicitly capped genres.

Coming Soon — premieres and next seasons, grouped by how confirmed the date is, also dismissible.

04

reading the colors

Green is a signature-genre or actor match — the strongest evidence. Gold is a generic-genre-only match, weaker on its own. Red is a genre Susan's explicitly capped, regardless of history.

  • No accounts, no passwords — reading it requires nothing.
  • No analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking.
  • No live connection to Susan's accounts — one published snapshot, refreshed by hand.
