Changelog

Daydream is narrowing its focus. We're going all-in on one job: recommending what to watch next, based on what you actually watch.

🎯 One job, done well

We had spread ourselves across a lot of things — a news feed, communities, social feeds, a roadmap board. Each was half-built, and none of them was the reason someone would choose Daydream. So we're parking them for now and putting everything behind the recommendation engine.

• Communities and the Feed are hidden for the time being. Nothing was deleted — the code and your data are still here, and we can bring them back whenever it makes sense.
• The recommendation system is the product now. Everything else supports it.

🧠 How the recommendations actually work

Every title in Daydream is described by what it feels like — its tone, mood and themes — not just its genre. As you log what you watch (and what you don't like), we build a picture of your taste and match it against everything else.

• Taste, learned over time: your likes, logs and flops train your profile. The more you log, the sharper it gets.
• Better than genre: two films can share a shelf and feel nothing alike. Daydream compares by feel, so "something like this" returns something that genuinely is.
• Describe a mood: search by how you want something to feel — a rainy-night drama, a slow-burn thriller — instead of scrolling by genre.

🚪 What's next

The plan is simple from here: open Daydream on web or mobile, tell it what you've been watching, and get recommendations worth acting on. Less noise, more signal.

If you've been here a while, thank you — this is the version we actually wanted to build.

Welcome to v1.1.0 — the Hype Engine update! This release is all about staying in the loop with what's coming next in film and TV, and letting Click (our mascot) be your guide.

🔥 Hype Engine

The biggest addition yet — a live feed of news, trailers, and industry highlights curated by our algorithm.

• Daily Mix by Click: Click now handpicks a daily selection of what's buzzing in film and TV — trailers, announcements, and breaking entertainment news.
• Hype or Nope: React to each item with a Hype (🔥) or Nope (👎) to train your feed and signal your excitement.
• Trailer Player: Watch trailers directly inside the app without leaving the page.
• Full Feed View: Browse the full curated feed at /feed, with every item linking to its own dedicated detail page.

🎬 Feed Item Detail Page

Each feed item now has its own page with the full picture.

• Rich Article Layout: Hero backdrop, poster, summary, source link, and featured media — all in one clean view.
• Reactions: Like or dislike directly from the detail page.
• Comments: Discuss each item with the community right below the content.

🖼️ Homepage Integration

The Hype Engine is now visible from the home screen.

• News Feed Section: A preview of the latest 8 feed items is shown on the homepage, keeping you up to date at a glance.
• Quick Access: Tap any card to dive into the full detail, or hit "See More" to open the complete feed.

Thank you for hyping with us!

✨ Technical Polish

This is the officially cleanest version of Daydream. We've optimized the core engine for better performance and clear communication across the entire platform.

• Optimized Engine: Faster, smarter, and more reliable.
• Refined UI: A denser, more professional "widget-like" layout.
