Hi

I love the concept of CineLog and its great on Phone. However I frequently use my desktop too and would like to be able to enter details about movies I'm watching, except there's no way to access CineLog (since there's no desktop version). I would liike to keep all my reviews in one place instead of various places. Would this be at all possible? Thanks again for your amazing work!

I don't have the skills to implement it but i think a cool way of doing it in the spirit of the app would be to allow to connect to a remoteStorage repository (read here https://unhosted.org/adventures/7/Adding-remote-storage-to-unhosted-web-apps.html) This way the data can be accessed from the app or a web app at will (at condition they use the same saving format).

I tried CineLog on my phone and i find it cool too but the ability to edit the list of movies from desktop would obvioulsy be a must. Otherwise you can always try to edit the exported .csv by hand xD

Hi,

my first thought was to avoid network data storage, because I intentionnaly built this app to help people to keep their data away from "cloud".

In my opinion, people who wants to rate movies and series and get it on every device should use services like https://www.senscritique.com/, which is a great tool !

I see my app as a an alternative to this type of service, with a privacy purpose.

@Julianoe I did not consider unhosted feature, but your proposal is a great solution ! I agree with this type of interaction because it explicitly tells the user data will be stored away from his device. I keep it in my mind, but can't give you a release date for this feature, as you can imagine ;-)
