TV Time shuts down July 15, 2026.
Since 2012 it accompanied millions of enthusiasts: episode tracking, shared lists, global community, personal stats.
Over 25M registered users over the years.
For many it was the digital home where they followed TV shows for over a decade.
Now it's leaving without a viable decentralized alternative.
Existing centralized options: Trakt, Serializd, BingeBoxd. They work well but reproduce same risks: limited scalability, single control points, dependency on individual servers and uncertain company futures.
One question I'm sitting with: is there concrete room for a native Nostr-based TV/movie tracker?
Technical feasibility looks accessible:
• Mature protocol (JS/Rust/Go/Python libraries)
• Blossom servers for distributed media storage
• Wisp-style key recovery already possible
• Existing NIPs cover core use cases
• AI coding assistants lower technical barrier
I'm not an expert dev, just noticing this gap. Could more experienced builders see opportunity here?
Why Nostr? When centralized apps die, data disappears. A public protocol outlasts companies.
