We’re getting ready to launch Peekr on Product Hunt 🚀

Peekr is a social app for movies & TV shows where you can:

• discover what friends are watching

• rate and track films/series

• build watchlists & custom lists

• share reactions, reels and recommendations

• follow creators and movie lovers

We’ve been building this for a long time and finally feel ready to take the Product Hunt step.

I’m attaching a short video of the app in action 👀

If anyone here has launched on Product Hunt before:

• What would you do differently?

• Any mistakes to avoid?

• Best strategies for launch day?

• Is finding a hunter still important in 2026?

And if any experienced hunter happens to see this and likes the project, we’d love to connect 🙏

Would really appreciate any feedback before launch.

I've lost count of how many times a friend asked "what should I watch?" and I had no good way to answer — not because I hadn't seen enough, but because I had no record of what I actually thought.

So I built Peekr. It's a social platform where you track, rate, and discover what to watch next — but the core idea is that your friends' taste matters more than an algorithm's guess.

The main features:

* Personalized feed based on what people you follow are watching and rating

* Peeklists — curated watch lists you can share or follow

* Community ratings + streaming availability info (so you know where to actually watch it)

* Buzz articles: filmography deep-dives and "what to watch after X" recommendations

Stack: Flutter (iOS + Android), Supabase for the backend, Next.js for the web layer, TMDB API for content data. All of it built by me, one person.

I recorded a quick walkthrough so you can see how it actually works before downloading:

Honest moment: the hardest part hasn't been the tech — it's been figuring out what actually makes people open the app again the next day. Retention on a social product with no existing network is genuinely hard when you're building solo.

If you've tackled cold-start problems on a social app, I'd love to hear how you approached it. And if you try Peekr, brutal feedback is more useful to me than kind words right now.

Sin considerar el contenido, te gusta mas el scrolling continuo tipo instagram o el inmersivo (post x pantalla completa) de TikTok? Estoy trabajando en un app red social de series y pelis y tengo ese desafio- por cual ir

Hey everyone,

I'm about to launch a new app and trying to figure out where to focus my promotion energy before going live.

Specifically curious about platforms where people actually click through and download — not just upvote or leave a comment. I've been looking at communities like Product Hunt, Reddit itself, Hacker News (Show HN), and even niche Facebook groups or Discord servers.

A few things I'm trying to understand:

- Which platform gave you the most actual installs, not just traffic?

- Is there a difference between iOS vs Android audiences across platforms?

- Did reviews/ratings on platforms like TV Time, Letterboxd, or similar niche apps influence discovery for you?

Would love to hear from anyone who's launched a consumer app recently. What worked, what was a waste of time?

Thanks!
