The problem: you want to follow your favorite actor’s or director’s new movie or tv series releases, but don’t want to get anything else.
If you try to solve it with some website’s newsletter, you’d 10 out of 10 get unwanted ads or offers. If such a newsletter exists, that is. Then it should be free.
Simply get an RSS feed from my website called Magnanium, free from ads and data collection. I am using this and plan to use it for years to come. Which means that it’s gonna remain working and free, as long as possible.
It’s obvisouly not the most exciting side project, but it solves one fore-mentioned problem that i wanted to solve. I don’t use social media other than reddit, which means that, to follow my fav artist’s new works i had to either 1) check their imdb regularly, or 2) read all the posts from r/movies(or their own subreddit). These manual works is way labor-intensive than simply getting a simple RSS feed.
The website is called Magnanium. You can choose options like person’s role(actor, director, etc), release type(theatrical, home, earliest) to get the feeds for. You can choose Movie or tv releases(or both), and when to get the feed(immediately when the release date is announced or a week or month before the release).
You can see the interactive rss feed preview in the home page to see how the feed’ll look like. It may look different than what you get on your RSS reader.
