Interestnaut is an app that recommends books, movies, TV, games, and music from a single taste profile

Name: Interestnaut

Price: Free

I’m the developer.

I’ve been building Interestnaut on & off for a while. The idea came from being frustrated that recommendation systems tend to stay in their own lane – books recommend books, movies recommend movies, music recommends music – even though my taste definitely doesn’t.

Interestnaut tries to connect all of that. Rate a few books, movies, TV shows, games, or albums, and it builds a taste profile, assigns you a media archetype, and recommends things across every type of media. You can also save your favorites, make your top-lists (and they can be media-agnostic). It’s somewhere between a recommender and a tongue-in-cheek horoscope.

I built a cross-media recommender that treats books, movies, TV, games, and music as one giant graph

I’ve been working on this on & off for a while and finally decided it was in a good enough state to show people.

I consume a lot of media and keep way too many lists of things I like. At some point I realized every recommendation service stays in its own lane – books recommend books, music recommends music, games recommend games – but I wanted something that could connect all of it.

Interestnaut is my attempt at that. Rate a few books, movies, TV shows, games, or songs, and it builds a taste profile, assigns you an archetype, and recommends things across every type of media. It’s somewhere between a recommender and a tongue-in-cheek horoscope. Also doubles as a place to create cross-platform lists and search/discover media by shared themes.

I’d really appreciate feedback -- especially whether the archetype feels fun/reasonable, whether the recommendations make sense, and whether the overall idea is interesting enough to try out. It's free, and no login needed (data is stored on whatever device/client that's used) unless you wanted to move a list from one device to another.

(Also happy to answer questions about the implementation if anyone’s curious.)
