Thanks Dick 🙏! 👋 Product Hunt! I’m Tom. It started with my girlfriend and I trying to find a movie. We’d sit in bed, scroll through Netflix, i'd fall asleep after 45 minutes… and in the morning she’d understandably be furious. 33% of all search queries are for recommendations, but our results are polluted by general consensus algorithms and paid advertising. The Spoke cuts through the clutter by featuring lists of recommendations from your friends, favorite influencers & publishers. Choose a list and see each item with your personalized Spoke Score - the average rating from the people you follow. If the movie or place looks interesting, swipe right to save it. If not, swipe left. If you’ve done it, swipe up to power the Spoke Score for the people who follow you. The Spoke Score decides how search results are ranked, so searching for a genre or cuisine will return different results for everyone on the planet. Then when decision time comes, “sync slates” with your significant other or friends to instantly see the saved items you have in common… with your favorite streaming/delivery services one tap away. We hope it eliminates as many arguments for you as it has for us. We've just released "impact" which will allow you to quantify your authentic influence, seeing who and what you're influencing in realtime! Looking forward to your feedback. Nominations for lists of recommendations are welcome. Who's list would you like to see? -The Spoke.

@chrismessina We're focused on horizontal aggregation (watch, eat+drink, eat, etc.) and digitizing offline word of mouth through the Spoke Score. We all trust the same 20-30 sources (friends, tastemakers, publishers) and use the same 10-20 apps (netflix, postmates, resy)... how isn't there a single place where they're aggregated to combine discovery + consumption? The best recommendations we discover get left in notes documents with no context or become outdated in ten different apps. The services we use are amazing for streaming, reserving, ordering, etc.. but it's really tough to make a good recommendation because they're working with a subset of the total inventory. Also - shoutout to the @must team, beautifully designed!

Looks awesomely well thought and I love the UX. I don’t love however that yet again we’re forgotten here in little old New Zealand.. :) Happy to help with engagement if there’s any intention to let us in. ;)
