Hope you don't mind TCTTS, but i wanted to see the shows with some sort of chronological organization, so I spun up this: tv-guide (it uses this thread plus the movie thread you have running). I also like seeing what shows or movies have replies as a light signal, so I included the replies too.

Awesome stuff, this is really cool. What did you code it in?
A couple quick things that would help (full disclosure: I'm a product designer):
- Items that are visible should initially show as selected. So TV and Movie, for example, should be checked as should all the networks. (We could get into a deep discussion over whether the networks should all be unselected then clicking one would filter, there's a variety of ways to approach those controls. But keeping it simple like this totally works.)
DISAGREE - in the simpler is better approach not having tons of check boxes checked is better. But a solution is to instead at the top of those have an "All" with a checkbox that is initially checked. Then checking anything unique to narrow it down unchecks the "All" and vice versa you can check the "All" to uncheck everything else.
- The TV and Movie controls would probably work better as a segmented navigation bar that read like All | TV | Movie (and I might use Movies rather than Movie) which eliminates the checkbox confusion
Maybe
- Watchlist should probably be a toggle rather than a checkbox since it's something you turn on or off rather than select
NOTE - it appears to be both. There is a toggle effectively at the top right as well as the checklist. Kind of redundant and yeah I might prefer just the toggle although that actually changes the entire view as opposed to the way the checkbox works. But yeah I think pick one or the other.
- Color coding networks is a great idea, having the color coded icon or dot next to the network name would help a viewer visually associate those. Using a dot next to the show names rather than the parenthesis might also make the lists a bit easier to scan.
- A select/unselect all at the top of the network list would be handy, would also eliminate the need for the clear button
And the "All" checkbox would also solve that
- Maroon theme doesn't seem to be change anything me (using Arc on MacOS Tahoe), might also change those labels to "mode" since you already have Themes in the dropdown
Ditto
Random personal preference things
- You could probably lose the filters label
- Watchlist toggle would probably be easier to access at the top of the column (maybe above or below Search), could also add the star as an icon next to the Watchlist label to visually reinforce the concept
Overall great stuff, this is super fun.

Nice, I'm doing a lot in Claude and Cursor as well.
And it's looking good. I like the idea you went for with the network colors but I don't think the selection status is quite clear to the user, making them radio button shaped also usually represents that you can only select one item.
You could also try doing the list more tag or ship style then color code the tags (or an icon on the tags) to match the network colors.

Thread replies are attached to the shows to as they tend to provide some signal to the ones that might grab people's attention.
