Roadmap

What is built, and what is still open.

The site runs. Recommendations, the dashboard, the weekly upkeep and the backend behind it are all in use. One service is half connected and three ideas are still ahead. Each item below says what it does for you rather than how it works.

Done

Recommendations from what you actually watched

Live

Scored against years of your own viewing

Streaming Scout reads your Netflix and Prime Video history and scores every candidate against a taste profile built from years of your own viewing. Titles get a lift when the cast overlaps a show you finished and loved. The Coming Soon feed is sourced from the services and trade sites that publish real schedules, so it reflects what is actually landing.

A page that works on your phone

Live

Open it from the Home Screen

Top Picks, your taste profile and what is coming soon, all on one page you can install like an app. Contrast meets accessibility standards, and a missing poster degrades to a clean placeholder instead of a broken image.

Its own address

Live

streamingscout.org

A real domain rather than a hosting subdomain. The security certificate renews itself, so there is nothing to maintain.

Weekly upkeep that runs itself

Live

With one honest exception

Scheduled jobs check the live site, carry your dismissals into the permanent record and sweep the artwork. The watch history is the exception. Reading Netflix and Prime needs your own signed-in browser, which no scheduled job can borrow, so instead of a job that would fail quietly every week you get a weekly report on how stale the history has gone. Refreshes run when you ask, and one that hits a problem stops rather than publishing half an answer.

Rebuilt on the full history

Live

A complete resync brought in every title back to 2010. Top Picks came back wider and better evidenced, Currently Watching and Coming Soon caught up to what was really airing, and the page got faster.

Choices that stick, and checks that catch mistakes

Live

The part that stops the same errors recurring

Hiding a title or marking it as watching syncs across your devices at once, and survives the next rebuild. Automated checks now block the mistakes this site actually made, among them recommending a show you already finished, leaving a removed title on the page, and shipping a row with no real artwork. Records are backed up weekly. Choosing good artwork still needs a person, so that work arrives as a change you can review first.

The service list matches your subscriptions

Live

The tracked list had fallen behind what you were actually watching. It now matches, every tracked service has a named source for its release schedule, and an automated check catches the number drifting again. Nat Geo stays off the list deliberately, because there is no account to read, so what you watch there gets logged from what you report.

Protect saved changes

Live

Reading stays open, changing does not

Shipped 23 August 2026. Anyone with the link could dismiss a title or mark one watched, which seemed low stakes when a "not interested" flag was all it changed. It stopped being low stakes once a weekly job began carrying those choices into the permanent record and deleting rows from the page. Dismissing and marking watched now need an edit key, asked for once per device rather than once per visit, because a per-visit prompt is what got Vinyl Scout's wishlist writes opened up in the first place. Same mechanism as Vinyl Scout, its own separate key. Browsing, filtering and the whole watch log stay open to anyone with the link, no account and no key. One thing worth knowing: a refused write used to fail quietly, since the browser counts a rejection as a completed request, so a wrong key would have stopped syncing while the page still looked fine. It now says so and asks again.

In progress

Hulu, fully connected

In progress

Schedules yes, history not yet

Hulu joined the tracked list on 14 August, so its upcoming releases already show up. Its watch history does not sync yet. The first live attempt ran into a signed-out session and a history page Hulu has retired; the page it should use instead is now recorded, so what remains is one change to the sync step and being signed in when it runs.

Browse the full watch log

Today you see the recommendation. This adds a searchable view of everything logged, filterable by service, genre or actor, so you can see the history a pick came from.

A scoring formula on paper

Next

Match percentages are worked out fresh at each rebuild from the same written rules. Turning that into a stored formula with fixed weights would make any score reproducible by hand, the way flight scoring already works on Travel Intelligence. Deciding which genre a brand new title belongs to stays a judgment call.
