Build up wishlists in Kurator! Share them with friends in the futile hopes that one of them will be an enabling svengali a "real one" who supports your addiction hobby!
You're a hopeless nerd. You collect dusty old tomes. You have OPINIONS, we get it. It's cool. You're among friends here. So, join your friends, share your hot takes via Kurator's "Hitlists". Create that ultimate 80s action movie tier list you've had kicking around in your brain.
Boards are Reddit-style discussion spaces: threads and nested replies, markdown authoring, and no voting. Create public boards anyone signed in can join, or private invite-only boards for your inner circle (mutual friends). Board owners can appoint moderators (mutual friends) who can delete any thread or reply, lock threads to stop new replies, and review edit history when thread or reply authors change content.
The signed-in app header includes a global search bar that finds collections, hitlists, wishlists, boards, threads, board replies, hitlist comments, and public profiles you can access (GET /api/v1/explore/search).
You're lazy, we know you are. That's cool though, we get it. Kurator looks stuff up for you as you add it to your collection so that collecting crap doesn't turn into a boring data entry job.
Remember when you could make Windows Media Player, or Netscape, or Winamp look as cringy as you damn well please? Yeah, we miss Skeuomorphism and HTML <marquee> and <blink> tags too...so we included a theming engine into Kurator! (This is still early stages, so no Carbon Fibre or Anime Waifu themes...yet.)
