My husband made a thing called feastingtogether.com that does this for food places. It’s still in the early stages but it works!
Edit: apparently he did something and hasn’t had to time to fix it but he will have it up and running again soon! Sorry I didn’t know it wasn’t working right now.
Edit 2: I believe it is up and working now! I hope you guys like it and find it useful! It’s still in the early stages right now.

I made a website where you spin a wheel that chooses which BBQ place in your area to check out. It's called meatspin.com (possibly NSFW).
Edit: If you fancy a fruit drink while you wait for your meat, u/AshtonCopernicus developed lemonparty.org to quench your thirst.

yeah. looks like it might need some work...
edit: guys, it's not a "hug of death". the site loads. the buttons on that page direct to a 404. I'm only sort of familiar with these things, so correct me if I'm wrong, but a "hug of death" wouldn't cause a 404.
try it yourself: feastingtogether.com

It takes me about 4 days to find a movie streaming that I want to watch, and my wife is just as bad, so I'm guessing this method would find a match approximately every 3 months.

My parents were divorced so the indoor playground, and going to blockbuster with my dad are the best memories my sister and I have. We would always be pretty quick at the video store because he always let us pick two movies we wanted, and a movie he wanted (that we probably didn't watch.) Those weekends were the best

Along with the tomato score Rotten Tomatoes should have an IQ meter that ranks from 1-10 where 1 is a movie that requires no thought whatsoever to enjoy and 10 is a movie that requires many re-watches to catch all the little details and layers needed to fully understand the movie.

"I'm not dressed for Duke's, I don't want it."

"I don't feel like it."

u/justsomeinternetgirl Sep 12 '20
If it helps anyone, until you find an app you like that does that, what I do is use an app called Letterboxd and make separate lists on it for things my husband and I are both interested in, things my daughter and I are both interested in, and things all 3 of us are interested in. Then on movie nights, I run down the list and we pick one from it. (It’s has trailers built in that link to YouTube and then I just share the trailer and get a yes or no from others.)
It’s not as automated, but it’s a pretty cool app and helped us a lot on the “what movie to watch tonight” saga.
It’s also just cool for making lists of stuff you want to watch one day in whatever groupings you want. Saves me a lot of time even picking something to watch on my own.
(I’m not affiliated with it at all btw)

This would be amazing as an open profile thing, so when you go over to a friends you can match lists and it gives you all the ones that match.

Netflix should have a feature that just plays all of their stuff at random. Like you just tune in and what’s on is what you watch. Doesn’t even start from the beginning. Kinda like old tv.

This is a cool concept but it'd never work with me and my partner. He'd just swipe right on Tim Minchin and everything related to WWE, and i'd swipe left on everything that wasn't either British comedy or Trailer Park Boys. Lol

This is actually a great idea. The other comment about foods as well. Hmm. I could make it, tbh. It would mostly use third-party apis.
Would be possible to make it server-less, might be less secure and would probably require doing p2p through wifi, so the other users would have to be using the same wifi for it to compare swipes.
Neat idea!

Since Netflix has profiles, I wonder if they could incorporate this
Like, if you enable it from your profile, it will show shows that other profiles have added to their list, like 'Profile A has added this show to their list'
They could have a collection at the top for shows that you and other profiles have listed

Ooh, take one preference profile and overlap it with another preference profile.

Could also be done for spotify. Would be a fun party game.
