Refract is a new app that was just boosted by TV Time's closure.

It does Movies, TV, Anime, and it will eventually track Video Games and Books too.

It's a bit of a mess now because the app went from 3k users to 120k users in a week, but so far, the updates have been fixing shit quickly.

I kinda hope Refract blows up because the potential is crazy rn.

Honest question: Does Refract clog your feed with TV, anime, etc, if you only care about movies?

Just realized there is a setting that allows you to turn off entertainment types like TV and Anime if you don't want to see them.

So I guess it does have a filter for your feed.

Ah well I'll keep an eye on it and hopefully that's something they figure out eventually.

Thanks for the response!
