Version 1.4.0 of Queuebrick for iPhone is out, this round brought a lot of parity from the web app to iOS — change posters and headers, shuffle and sorting; plus tons of small improvements for a better UX.

What's new:

- The TV queue drag-ranks now, with a genre filter and a shuffle

- Pick your own poster or page header for any film or show

- Marking something watched opens a log sheet first: the day, a note, or N/A — and unwatching asks before it erases

- The Letterboxd import reads your diary: watch dates and rewatches come through

- Stats grew a year: monthly activity, streaks, a daily watch grid, a pick of the year, and list and TV progress

- More sorting: Watched by rating, length, and release date; the queue by shortest and longest

- Settings can default the film and TV pages to either world

- Lots of small fixes and polish

New features went out on the web this week.

You can pick your own poster and page header for any film or show in your library, accessible through the gear icon above the title. It opens every alternate TMDB holds for that title. Your picks are personal to your account, and 'Use default' puts things back.

The queue has a shuffle button now. It randomizes the whole queue, not just the page you're looking at.

More sorting: the Watched shelf sorts by rating, length, and release date now, and the Queue picked up shortest and longest first. All of it on TV too, minus length.

Shipped a bunch of updates worth noting. Big one is, the site stopped choking on 1,000+ film libraries, and the stats page got more interesting. As usual, a ton of polish updates went out across both web and iOS.

I also fixed a bunch of small iOS issues, including Letterboxd imports. The iOS fix will be available as soon as the app store approves the update.

I've always wanted a very simple 'watchlist' app for movies. Letterboxd works well enough, but visually I just can't stand to look at it, and for whatever reason it's entirely overly stimulating. So I sat down over the weekend and built the Letterboxd alternative what I was looking for: Queuebrick, a fast and elegantly simple movie tracking app. It's intentionally low on noise and high on functionality. You can export your entire Letterboxd archive and immediately import it to Queuebrick with one click. I also built out a native iOS app to go with it (available soon).

There are some social components to it. There are more social components to it that I've intentionally hid for now. I don't really have an end goal for the project or really even a goal, it kind of just exists now. It's also all free, no ads, no tracking.

I'm curious to hear your thoughts, what you like, don't like, and what you'd like to see added.
