instantwatcher.com - a new website for finding watch instantly netflix titles

Hi - I'm a Netflix Watch Instantly fan and a software developer, so I did the inevitable and created a website to help me and others find Watch Instantly Netflix titles faster & with fewer distractions. It also tracks expiration dates. I hope you guys find it useful.

Right now, the Netflix API doesn't offer an easy way to embed movie previews for their titles on external sites, so maybe YouTube can supply them. Anyway, that's what I was thinking of trying since previews are the main thing missing right now.; ▶ Reply to This

You obviously have a lot of talent and I suppose you already have a great job but I hear Netflix is hiring…

Searched instantwatcher.com last night for Perfect Blue. I couldn't find it. I then went through the list of anime and still no luck. The netflix website shows it as available on IW.

I should add, that Perfect Blue was originally set to expire January 1, then set to expire February 1 and now has no set expiration date (at least in the queue).

Any idea what's going on? Is your system set to not list movies past expiration even if this date then "vanishes"?; ▶ Reply to This

Alternatively, you can click "Random in genre" when you're under a genre category. Then only titles from that genre will pop up. I hope this suffices! If not, let me know.; ▶ Reply to This
