I really would like to delete my account there and move on. Is there anything, solid enough, with a good rating system, some lists that I can make for myself or at least a simple “to watch”?

Would be cool to have a “where to watch / stream / buy” section and some basic info like people behind the movies and so on.

Major pros: good website and cross-platform mobile app.

I just installed letterboxd to check how it feels but before migrating anywhere I am more interested what I will read here.

On android, you can probably use hermit to approximate an app. It takes web pages and puts them in. Sand boxed app. I find it works pretty well for lot of websites.

You know of any open source alternatives?

Just add it to your homescreen? If it's a PWA (tmdb is), you can even kinda install it from your browser and it behaves mostly like an app.

Edit: If you mean as a developer, just write the app as a PWA.

Thanks, I'll give it another try. I've tried to install pwa's on android with Firefox in the past and it seemed to have issues, especially on sites I logged into. But it's been a while so why not? I installed mtdb and it looks pretty great.

Thank you, I'll give that a go.
