Changelog
What's new on doIwatch.it — written for humans, not developers.
v1.9.6
February 2026
- New: The homepage has been redesigned to better explain
what makes doIwatch.it different from Letterboxd and IMDb.
- New: The welcome guide now explains why there are no likes,
comments, or chat — and why that’s intentional.
- Improved: Review notes can now be up to 300 characters
instead of 280.
v1.9.5
February 2026
- Fixed: Search is now significantly more reliable —
titles with alternate names, translations, or unusual
indexing are much more likely to appear in results.
- Fixed: Searching with a year filter no longer silently
returns nothing when an unrelated local title partially
matches the query.
- Fixed: Navigation buttons on mobile are now correctly
sized and aligned when logged out.
- Fixed: Feed toggle now clearly says
Hide my ratings and
Show my ratings instead of describing
the current state.
- Improved: Feed on mobile now shows the poster above the
title and rating for easier reading on small screens.
- Improved: Posters on the feed and profile pages are
larger on desktop and show the full image without cropping
on all screen sizes.
- Improved: Profile header on mobile no longer breaks the
member since date across multiple lines or stacks the
stats vertically.
v1.9.4
February 2026
- New: Share your profile — visitors who are not
logged in now see Log in to follow and Create account buttons on
any profile page. After signing in, the follow completes
automatically.
- Fixed: Feed toggle now says Hide my ratings and
Show my ratings instead of describing the current
state.
- Fixed: Search with year or type filters no longer misses results
due to an unrelated local title partially matching the query.
- Improved: Profile and feed posters show the full image without
cropping on mobile.
- Improved: Navigation buttons on mobile are now correctly sized
and aligned when logged out.
v1.9
February 2026
- New: Private profiles — make your profile
private so only logged-in users can view it (Settings → Privacy)
- New: Terms of Service — registration now
requires agreement to the terms. Existing accounts are unaffected.
- New: Contact form — report incorrect film or TV
data directly from a title page. The form pre-fills the title so
you do not have to.
- New: Smarter nightly sync — the background title
refresh now only updates titles that have actually changed on Trakt,
making it significantly faster.
- Fixed: Log in to follow — visiting a profile
while logged out now shows buttons to log in or create an account,
which then complete the follow automatically.
- Fixed: Season cache refreshes daily for currently airing shows
instead of waiting seven days.
v1.8
February 2026
- New: Profile stats — your own profile
now shows total ratings, film/TV split, season rating count,
average scores overall and by type, a score distribution chart,
top genres with average ratings, favourite decade, and a genre
insight line ("you rate X highest and Y lowest")
v1.7
February 2026
- New: doIwatch? — can't decide
what to watch? Pick something random from your

picks to just films or just TV series
- New: "Not this one" cycles through picks
without repeating titles in the same session
- New: "Start over" resets your picks

now links to a pre-filled deletion request form; we'll
confirm by email when your account is deleted

February 2026

what you plan to watch on your profile

when you rate them (can be turned off in Settings)
