ShipLog
A fan companion app for serialized romance TV that tracks every couple, quote, and book-to-screen change episode by episode, with spoiler-safe community feeds and watch-along alerts.
Viewers of romance series (especially queer romance) who follow multiple shows weekly and want one organized place to track them
- Per-show relationship graph showing who is with whom, current status, and last canonical scene
- 'Book-to-screen diff' that compares each episode against the source novel and flags added, cut or changed scenes
- Watch-along scheduling in your timezone with friends and a spoiler-blocked episode chat
- Actor-pulse feed: when your favorite star pops up in another project, an interview, or a viral moment
Book-to-screen queer romance (Heated Rivalry, Red White & Royal Blue, upcoming Bridgerton seasons) is one of the fastest-growing fandom verticals, and fans are desperate for one app that doesn't spoil them and respects the source material.
The referenced article describes fans 'clamoring' and viral photos driving 200+ searches; queer romance communities are unusually engaged and loyal.
TV tracker apps (Trakt, TV Time) are generalist; none treat romance series — and especially book adaptations — as a first-class vertical.
Fans willingly pay for Patreon, ad-free feeds and exclusive book-to-screen breakdowns; proven $5–10/mo willingness.
Strong per-show but perishable across shows; revenue is uneven unless you ride multiple simultaneous fandoms.
Episode metadata, character-graph scraping and a social layer are standard mobile engineering.
