For alpha testers

Welcome — you're early.

Thanks for taking this for a spin. Here's everything you need to know in about thirty seconds.

This is an alpha. Expect rough edges and the occasional bug. The faster you flag what feels broken or confusing, the faster it gets fixed — use the Feedback button in the bottom-right of any page.

What this is

Will It Be Good? is a place to call upcoming movies before they release. Predict the star rating and the Rotten Tomatoes score. When the movie comes out we compare your call to the real scores and track your accuracy over time.

The whole point: build a track record. Get the reps in. See if your taste actually predicts what's good — or if you've been kidding yourself.

How predictions work

  • Find an upcoming movie on the home page or search.
  • Set a star rating (0.5–5) and a Rotten Tomatoes percentage (0–100).
  • Optionally drop a quick note explaining your call.
  • Predictions lock 3 days before release — no last-minute hedging once trailers and reviews start landing.

How scoring works

When a movie releases we pull its real star rating (IMDB) and Rotten Tomatoes critic score and compare to your prediction. Closer call = higher accuracy. Climb the leaderboard, follow friends, and see who actually has taste.

Scores update through the first 30 days after release, then lock in as final.

Already predicted before signing up?

If you rated movies as a guest and then made an account, your predictions come with you automatically the first time you sign in on the same device. No copy-paste, no lost history.

How to send feedback

Use the in-app feedback button (bottom-right on most pages) for anything that feels broken, confusing, or missing. Every submission lands on a dashboard I actually read — usually same-day.

Bugs, ideas, hot takes about the UI, requests for movies that aren't in the database yet — all welcome.

Known rough edges

  • Some smaller indie / international releases may not be in the catalog yet. Tell me which ones you want and I'll add them.
  • Real-world scores for movies released in the last few days can take a day or two to populate.
  • Mobile polish is ongoing — if a layout looks off, screenshot it and send it through feedback.
  • Some early features (leagues, badges, streaks) are mapped out but not shipped yet. Coming.

You're in the alpha — things will change quickly. Thanks for being early.
