Resonami

About this app

Resonami is a free AI taste engine for movies, TV shows, and books. Rate familiar titles from 1–10 to build a personal taste profile and discover what to try next. Both your scores and the number of ratings supporting each genre shape the profile. Explore recommendations across all media or one category, and see why each pick connects to your taste and previously rated titles. Use Rate & refine for quick ratings, or Ask AI for a mood, theme, pace, or kind of story. Keep watchlists and reading lists, track titles in progress, and log viewing or reading dates, rewatches, and rereads. Goodreads CSV imports bring existing book ratings into your profile. Clubs let people share lists, vote, and discuss their next pick together. Free to use in desktop and mobile web browsers. Personal recommendations require email sign-in; no personal AI API key is needed. Screenshots show the actual Resonami interface with illustrative sample data.

Scout Review

Written by AI from measured evidence, scored out of 100.

Resonami is a free, cross-media taste engine: rate movies, TV and books 1–10, and get explained recommendations that connect back to what you've already rated. The site is well-crafted — dark editorial design, a working hero search, honestly labeled sample screenshots — and the free finder plus open /guides give visitors real value before signup. Measured performance is excellent on desktop (99/100) and solid on mobile (81/100, LCP 3.5s). Accessibility audits clean at 100/100. The weak spots are security headers (3/12, no CSP/HSTS/DMARC) and the absence of any published compliance or security documentation. Growth is plausible but unproven: the cross-media wedge is real, the social Clubs layer is promising, and the domain is brand new.

Measure by measure

Usability

Free finder lets you get explained picks and copy a shortlist before signing up, and /guides are readable without an account. Email-only sign-in and no visible help center keep it from going higher.

Design

Cohesive dark editorial look with a strong hero, working Ctrl-K search, and honestly labeled sample screenshots. Craft is above typical indie-tool level, though it's a marketing page rather than a deep product showcase.

Speed

Lighthouse desktop 99/100 and mobile 81/100 with CLS 0 and TBT 0ms. The 3.5s mobile LCP is the one soft spot, but the front end is clearly lean and well-built.

Security

HTTPS is enforced and SPF is set, but there's no HSTS, CSP, frame protection, Referrer-Policy or DMARC, and the header checklist scored 3/12. No published audits or security page.

Accessibility

Lighthouse accessibility scored a perfect 100/100, with one failing audit around visible text labels not matching accessible names. No WCAG statement or a11y page found, so the score sits high but not top-of-band.

Growth

A real problem (cross-media taste, explained picks) with a specific wedge: one profile across movies, TV and books. Clubs hint at a social layer, but the category is crowded and the domain is brand new.

Improvement areas

Security headers are thin (3/12) and no security page or audits are published.
Email-only sign-in with no OAuth options.
No visible help center beyond the editorial guides.
Homepage relies on illustrative samples rather than real recommendation output.

Design & Usability

Resonami's site is a cut above the usual indie landing page: a dark editorial aesthetic, a working Ctrl-K search in the hero, and sample screenshots honestly labeled as illustrative. The usability story is stronger than the design story — the free finder lets you get explained picks and copy a shortlist before signing up, and the /guides section is fully readable without an account, organized by story theme and format. That's a real onboarding funnel rather than a signup wall. The gaps are conventional: email-only sign-in with no OAuth, no visible help center, and a product surface that's mostly described rather than demonstrated. It works, it's thoughtful, and it doesn't overpromise.

Speed & Security

Speed is the standout measured dimension: Lighthouse desktop 99/100, mobile 81/100, with CLS 0 and TBT 0ms — a genuinely lean front end. The 3.5s mobile LCP is the only soft metric and it's a first-paint issue, not a jank issue. Security is the weak flank. HTTPS is enforced and SPF is set, but the header probe found no HSTS, no CSP, no frame protection, no Referrer-Policy, no Permissions-Policy and no DMARC — 3/12 on the checklist. There's no published SOC 2, ISO, pen-test or bug bounty, and no security page. For a free consumer app handling taste profiles and email sign-in, that's not disqualifying, but it's clearly behind what a mature peer would ship.

Accessibility & Growth

Accessibility is strong on the automated side: Lighthouse scored 100/100, with a single failing audit about visible text labels not matching accessible names. There's no WCAG conformance statement or dedicated a11y page, so the score reflects a clean build rather than a documented commitment. Growth is the more interesting question. The idea — one taste profile across movies, TV and books, with recommendations that explain why — names a real problem and a specific wedge against Letterboxd (film social) and Goodreads (books social). The Clubs feature hints at a social layer that could compound. But the category is crowded, the domain is brand new, and nothing in the material yet shows why a Letterboxd or Goodreads user would defect rather than run Resonami alongside.

Conclusion

If you've ever wished your Letterboxd ratings and your Goodreads shelf talked to each other, Resonami is aimed squarely at you — and the free finder means you can test that thesis in about two minutes without handing over an email. The recommendation-with-reasons framing is the right bet in a category drowning in opaque 'for you' rows. What's missing is proof: no security page, no audits, no visible community yet. None of that is fatal for a new free tool, but it's the difference between 'interesting' and 'I'll trust it with my taste history.' Worth a try; worth watching.

Suggestions for improvement

Publish a security page and add HSTS, CSP, Referrer-Policy and DMARC — the header probe scored 3/12.
Add Google/Apple sign-in alongside email to cut signup friction.
Ship a public help center or FAQ beyond the guides to support the Clubs and import features.
Show a real (anonymized) recommendation example on the homepage instead of only illustrative sample data.
