There have been many times when I wonder whether to wait through the credits in the cinema to see if there is an after credits scene, or, when watching a film at home and then leaving the rolling credits on for the music whilst I rate the movie and SURPRISE! Post credits scene that I had no idea about, and I don't like thinking about how many people missed this scene because no one had an idea it existed.

I believe some feedback system where (authenticated) users can vote to say whether the movie has an after credits scene or not. I understand there is some exceptions when films have multiple after credits scenes with more credits in between them but I think maybe just a Yes or No should suffice enough to help people justify whether to wait through the credits or not.

My technical idea for this is something along the lines of.

To allow voting:
a POST request that needs to include a bearer token so that we are sure that only users with accounts can vote. Sent along with the info needed to record a vote, such as movie id and their vote (maybe YES/NO (Boolean?) What about future proofing for other voting options?)

My idea for the storage of a vote is (this is based on assumed knowledge of the current DB structure given the current API responses) a table with columns to store the userid, movieid and their vote. Which could hopefully make changing a users vote easy and avoiding double voting etc.

Fetching the votes will simply be a count of the votes for a given movie for each vote choice.

This is a very loose idea and without knowledge of the current system I can't say my suggestions/ideas are accurate.

Would love to hear reasons for/against this idea.

Thanks

I find it really interesting to see how other users have rated a movie or show and how they rated others. Unfortunately, trakt currently only surfaces this information sparingly (AFAICT only for friends on an item's page and in a user's ratings tab). This is especially apparent when browsing the site while not logged in.

It would be great if trakt could show a user's rating when a movie or show is display in a user's context, i.e. on their profile, history, lists etc.

E.g. the profile already shows a user's recently watched episodes and movies and that would be a great place to also show how the user has rated it.

This could be done similarly how an user's own rating is displayed, e.g. by adding a blue corner with the rating to the bottom right or top left. Or it could augment / replace the global rating in the bottom bar.
