Cinespin - Random film picker for Letterboxd

Tick the films you're considering on Letterboxd and let it pick one for you.

An independent extension, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Letterboxd. It picks a film for you when your watchlist has become the problem rather than the solution. Watchlists grow faster than they shrink. At some point the list stops being a plan and turns into a decision you keep postponing. This extension takes that decision away from you for the price of one click. HOW IT WORKS • Switch it on from the one-time tip on Letterboxd or from the toolbar popup, or set it to switch on by itself on every visit. • Tick the posters you are considering. Checkboxes appear on watchlists, user lists, member film pages, actor and director filmographies, and the Films browse pages. • Keep going across pages and lists. Your selection pool stays with you as you move around within the same tab. • Press Spin. The result arrives on a short reel, with a direct link to the chosen title. • Optional filters narrow the pool by release year, runtime, genre (include and exclude) or average rating. • Interface in English and Turkish, following your browser language. A REQUEST BUDGET, WRITTEN AS AN ETHICAL RULE Every request made on your behalf is attributed to your own account, so the extension spends as few as it can: • Building the pool, and spinning without filters, costs zero network requests: the checkboxes only read what is already on screen. • Year, runtime, genre and rating details are fetched only when you actually use a filter, and only until one matching title turns up, never for the whole pool. • At most 3 at a time, at least 300 ms apart, 50 per spin at the very most. Paths disallowed in robots.txt are never requested. • Fetched details are cached in your browser, so the same page is not asked for twice. WHAT IT NEVER DOES • It is read-only: nothing is written, rated, logged or changed on your account. • No server, analytics, telemetry or third parties. Nothing is sent to the developer. • One permission (storage), no host_permissions entry and no background service worker; the content script runs only on letterboxd.com pages.
