Add option to log rewatchings [feature request]

Open sbssk8 opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Hi Pierre!

I would like to use the app also to log movie rewatchings.

Some of the thoughts I have on the feature:

  • On the movie review list, all watching entries could be shown but with the possibility to hide them.
  • An option hide rewatchings with 3 options: only show first watch, only show last, show all.
  • From the item screen, all rewatchings would appear (but only one rewiew per movie? Not sure about that)

Please let me know if you would like this feature to be implemented, I could work on it and open a pr!

Hello sbssk8,

Thanks for this feature request, movie rewatch never cross my mind but you're right, that would be nice !

I started to think about it and I'm sort of stucked because of the DB schema technical debt.

For now, movie and serie reviews are not stored the same way, but it should be.

In order to do it the right way, I think I should fix this first.

Now for your 3 points:

  • I agree with the idea to show first or last watch, but I'm not convinced that for the show all option. Don't you think it will induce a poor list rendering ?
  • I agree, item screen should show all rewatchings.
  • Both several review or several watch date are good solutions for me. I'd say that if you expressed the necessity to add rewatch, maybe someone would like to make a complete new review when he watch the movie again. In that case, maybe we could show multiple items for the same movie in the list ? It may be simplier to implement and but I'm not sure it's a good UX solution.

What do you think about it ?

When we'll be ok with these choices, if you want to work on a PR, feel free, I would be happy to include this feature :-). I can work on it too, but as you can see, I'm not really responsive and it can take some time to be developed.

Pierre

EDIT: I forgot someone asked for multiple review. I think your question now has an answer :-), I think "complete" multiple review should be implemented.
