Show HN: Qwink.com - Search engine for online movies
I put this together to simplify finding where to watch an online movie. I'm not picky about which provider I use, but I do have an order of where I check for availability first.
I subscribe to Netflix and Amazon Prime, so my process usually goes: check Netflix, check Amazon Prime, compare prices between iTunes, Amazon, and Vudu rentals. It's an inefficient process, so I aggregated everything to one search.
This is a "for fun" project to get familiar with Solr. I am about to push a "Newly Released" page, and if anyone has any other suggestions or comments, I'd be very appreciative.
For those interested, it's running Tornado, MongoDB, and Solr on Rackspace and AWS. Crawling/API queries performed with Scrapy. It's not optimized for a phone browser yet, but it does look nice on a tablet.
