Trakt Feedback - Feature Suggestion: Roulette Randomizer for Trakt

Introduction:

As a dedicated user of Trakt, I appreciate the comprehensive tracking and discovery features the platform offers.

However, I personally believe that there is an opportunity to enhance the user experience by introducing a “Roulette Randomizer” feature, similar to what Reelgood provides.

This feature could significantly benefit users who feel overwhelmed by the vast array of content available across multiple streaming services.

···

Feature Overview:

The Roulette Randomizer would be a feature that randomly selects titles from a user’s connected streaming services, providing a spontaneous and exciting way to discover new content.

This feature would be particularly appealing to users who are indecisive or looking for a surprise element in their viewing experience.


Benefits

  1. Enhanced Discovery: By randomly selecting titles, users can discover content they might not have chosen on their own, broadening their viewing habits and potentially finding new favorites.

  2. Decision Fatigue Reduction: With so many options available, users often experience decision fatigue. A randomizer simplifies the decision-making process, making it easier to start watching something new.

  3. Increased Engagement: Offering a fun and novel way to select content could increase user engagement and retention, as users return to Trakt for the unique experience.

  4. Cross-Platform Integration: By leveraging Trakt’s existing integrations with various streaming services, the Roulette Randomizer could pull from a wide range of content, similar to Reelgood’s approach.


Implementation Considerations

  • User Preferences: Allow users to customize their randomizer settings, such as selecting specific genres, streaming services, or excluding certain types of content.
  • Interface Design: Integrate the feature seamlessly into the existing Trakt interface, ensuring it is easily accessible and user-friendly.
  • Technology: Consider leveraging existing technologies, such as Netflix Roulette, to develop the randomizer, ensuring a robust and reliable feature.

Conclusion

Incorporating a Roulette Randomizer feature into Trakt could greatly enhance the platform’s value to its users, providing a unique and engaging way to discover new content.

I personally believe that this feature aligns well with Trakt’s mission to help users track and discover content effortlessly.

Thank you for considering this suggestion, and I look forward to seeing Trakt continue to innovate and improve the user experience.
