Popfeed is a media ratings and reviews app built on the ATproto protocol. It allows users to rate and review various forms of media while ensuring their lists and reviews remain portable across platforms. The app leverages ATproto's decentralized architecture to give users control over their data and content.
I've been using popfeed for over an year, while I never managed to stuck with other log/review services. The main reason being that I always found it annoying to need one app for each different type of media (specially for movies and series that often complement each other; games and books have been a nice addition imo but I'm not a fan of having the music stuff there personally.) Popfeed managed to fill that niche for me and it's been nice overall.
I do feel, however, that there's a lot of work to be done and it doesn't help that the service is closed source. It is a very complex app being grown and basically a single guy doing it all.
My 3 main grudges are:
- The website version is lacking. Not being able to open pages on other tabs makes it so organizing or logging anything, specially the watchlist, is a really annoying task. The UI in general isn't the best for this type of service.
- Diary entries were a nice idea taken from letterboxd but because it works so differently it feels unfinished. You can't add a second diary entry for something already logged, no tags for diary entries (only reviews), not being able to add a second review, not having a "liked" section, not being able to add individual tv shows episodes, currently not being able to edit diary dates.
- You can't mute or block people. If you have someone blocked on bluesky, popfeed completely ignores it.
I really like the idea of it and I really want it to be better! I never had anything that attended my needs as much as popfeed does, the experience just needs a boost :)
Overall, I enjoyed the idea of being able to share my favorite pop culture interests with my friends on the Atmosphere. I agree with one of the other reviews that mentioned Popfeed is spreading itself too thin covering a lot of different types of media, like with movies, TV, books, etc. I think one other thought I have is that UI is confusing at times, am I leaving a comment or a review, and do both need to exist? Why not just let people leave reviews with the option to reply to other people's reviews? I think it's a great first step to let people explore pop culture, but I think it could use some work.

🎥 The Princess and the Frog (2009) ★★★★ The animation is amazing and the characters and voices felt so real. Overall I enjoyed it, although some scenes were a little odd, and I've heard the Voodoo stuff was based on racist stereotypes, but other than that it was… View full review on @popfeed.social
