CutSeen

Preserving every viewing journey

A TV and film tracker that keeps every FirstSeen and ReSeen as its own history instead of flattening them into one progress bar.

Availability

A test build exists. CutSeen is not available in an app store.

The problem

A first watch and each later rewatch need distinct progress and history, without one viewing overwriting another.

The contribution

JodyInk defined the viewing-history model and built the mobile product around continuity, recovery, and legible state.

Decisions that shaped the work

  1. Model FirstSeen and every ReSeen as independent runs rather than a single mutable record.

  2. Preview imported changes and preserve recovery paths instead of treating import as an irreversible shortcut.

What was implemented

  1. Independent viewing runs, append-only history, and progress that retains its original context.

  2. Import preview, retry, and rollback behavior designed around recoverable data changes.
