A small remedy for the scroll.

Hi, I'm Harsh. Suggest Me Something started from a stubborn personal problem. Most evenings I'd open a streaming app, scroll for half an hour, close it, open another, scroll, and end up watching nothing. The same thing happened with music and with the stack of books on my desk. The catalogs were enormous; my ability to choose was not.

The trouble was never selection. It was matching. A romantic comedy on a tired Tuesday and a romantic comedy on a celebratory Friday are not the same request, even though most recommenders treat them that way.

What it does

Pick a medium — movies, TV series, anime, books or songs. Answer eight short questions about how you feel right now, what you have the energy for, and what kind of experience you want. Each answer maps to filters real catalogs already understand. We hand back a shortlist with all the details you'd want before pressing play.

What it doesn't do

Suggest Me Something doesn't ask you to make an account. It doesn't store your answers. It doesn't use a large language model to guess at the picks — every recommendation is a deterministic query against a public catalog, which means you can re-run the same quiz and trust you'll get something coherent.

The sources

Movies and TV series come from TMDB with ratings from OMDb. Anime comes from Jikan, the open API for MyAnimeList. Music comes from Apple's public iTunes Search API, with links out to Apple Music. Books come from Google Books and Open Library. Their data is theirs; we just arrange the questions.

How the guides and Journal are made

The quiz is the heart of the site. The guides and Journal articles exist to help with the questions that come up around it: what order to watch a franchise in, whether a long series is worth starting, what to try after you finish something you loved.

We use AI writing tools to help research and draft articles. Anything that can be checked, such as release dates, episode counts, cast, reading orders and award results, is checked against primary sources like studio and network announcements, publishers and the catalogs above. Verdicts like "worth watching if…" are editorial judgments about who a title suits. They are not claims that someone on the team has reviewed every title personally.

We would rather have fewer, better pages than many thin ones, so articles that stop being useful or accurate are rewritten, merged or removed. If you spot something wrong, please tell us and we will fix it.
