Show HN: Weekend Hack: NextEpiso.de (opens in new tab)

Source code (sorry - backend only) is available on my github account: https://github.com/sebcioz/next_episode

Please don't make drag and drop required. This is not a good trend. Oh and you left your S3 bucket and key in the source.

Nice idea. However, I tried checking the release date for The big bang theory and it said "No Next Episode :(" which disagrees with Wikipedia that says "November 8".

A friend of mine built something similar: http://watched.li/

Also I am not able to find two and a half men :/

A nice attempt. But I am not satisfied with the UI! Why to drag the picture when you can just click it and get the next release date. Basically, you are taking two steps to do a thing which can be done in one step, may be just to make the UI pretty. Plus some details are incorrect (like no new episode for the Big Bang Theory) but these are your content source issue. Apart from that it is good!

A few bugs:

1. Dexter hasn't aired on the west coast, but the next episode is listed as 7 days from now, when it's really a few hours from now. Same with The Walking Dead.

2. Doesn't work on my iPhone.

A few comments:

1. Don't make me click to see the next episode air date. If you want to keep the current interface, do it on mouseover. Better yet, just let users add shows and present a table with a list sorted by date.

2. It'd be nice to show the next air date of old show re-runs too.

Drag and drop doesn't work on my iPad or Android phone.

I've been using http://tvcountdown.com for quite some time now and I haven't been disappointed. It has lots of series, also some British ones. It's really nice that it converts the airtimes to local times, since I live in Europe and always forget how many hours I have to add or substract.

I had a little issue. I chose The Walking Dead and new episode airs later today. It told me that the next new episode was in 7 days. So I had to go over to Wikipedia to make sure tonight's episode was a new one. It is.

Snazzy UI. I made something similar: txt reminders for new episodes of tv shows: http://remembertowatch.com

I really like the idea but the drag 'n' drop user interface is neither convenient nor necessary to fulfill its purpose. But anyway, keep up the good work.

If the next release date is today, as in the case of walking dead, it should say! otherwise, nice.

The site doesn't work on my iPhone, but that's not why I'm leaving a comment. I wanted to compliment you on the great domain name. It's clever and catchy. Very brandable. Nice work.

P.S. And don't forgot smartphone users.

Honestly, it takes way too many clicks to find out when the next episode is. Fist I have to drag, then click. It should really be a 1 step thing.
