The problem

Streaming moved from dropping full seasons to drip-feeding episodes weekly, and I kept missing episodes and forgetting which platform a show was even on.

What I did

Search any show, see only the episodes still to come with air dates and platform, read synopses, tick what to watch, set a sensible reminder time rather than 1am, and download it all as an ICS file for any calendar.

The outcome

Shipped, open source, documented, and in use every week. Built entirely with AI and curiosity.

What I learned

Constraining the scope, future episodes only, one clear job, is exactly what made it shippable in a sitting instead of sprawling into yet another half-finished watchlist app.
