I think curated sync stream rooms (a la Cytube) and a film discussion forum would work really well along with this
Discussion
Hell yeah on those
This would be a good starting point. A place to stream anything and discuss it.
I sort of quite like the limitations of archiveorg, it also has stuff I reckon is not on stremio (although I haven't used it) I'm thinking more art shorts and rarities.
EffedUp movies would also be a good one to integrate, they have some of these features.
Adding cytube functionality: The ability to open a room add movies to a playlist, have vote skip (optional) and sync watch parties would be amazing.
But really because archiveorg doesn't really have a suitable UI, but a really decent selection. I think people would actually use it
Stremio is pretty versatile. At its core it's like trakt. Let's you catalogue your movies and tv shows, track what you've watched, sync it between devices. It has plugins for playing them, ranging from commercial stuff (Netflix, Hulu etc), to torrents and even archive.org.
It's a versatile tool for finding anything to stream, regardless of source or legality. It also has a plug-in system so it is extensible to get the features you want. There's a watch party plugin even.
But does it have a phpBB -style forum ;)
No, but this is neat 👀 There are a lot of plugins!
Why do you need a forum? Can’t you just discuss under the note?
That’s the part I don’t fully get either. If it’s a nostr client, why not discuss directly with the note
Forums are less 'chatroom'. You can have sub forums like requests, discussion of films in cinemas, requests, off topic etc etc. it would also bump threads which have been interacted with recently. You know like a classic phpBB forum.
It would also be a forum-client which was topic-focused and perhaps appeal to people outside of the bitcointwitter chatroom bubble.
It's just an idea.
Alternatively: You could also have a sidebar of Latest Comments maybe? Just another idea.
But mostly thinking a reskinnwed archive films with better UI, ability to discuss, rate films, add to watchlist etc ect. Could have fairly wide appeal.
That's my thinking. Perhaps mixture of aolarmovies and letterboxd. But yeah, I suppose a forum isn't essential for this.
Like just replying to where the movie was posted to discuss that movie?
No problem there, but forums can also have posts like "I miss blockbuster stores of the VHS era" or "what's a good documentary about parrots"
