DivinoAG's dashboard

@Pau: If they were to do that way, it would be better to just allow users to create their own categories. Personally I feel that many options would be a little overkill.

The problem I see with you suggestion is that you put together categories from both a show status' point of view (completed, dropped, canceled, on hold) and from the viewer's (watching, plan to watch). Since MyTVShows' focus is on the viewer (there are plenty sites out there to know what is the show current situation), I think only statuses that actually affect the user should be included.

That means:

• On Hold and Live is the same from the user's point of views. There are going to be new episodes and we just need to know when.


• Completed, Dropped or Canceled all mean there won't be any new episodes, therefore we need to buy the DVDs or download all episodes to watch that show, and that it won't need to be displayed on the sites calendar. So it's also the same from the viewer's point of view; it ended, "why" is irrelevant.

Those show-focused flags are useful for the website, but I wouldn't want to have my shows categorized by them. Ivo's idea for categories would suffice for most users, myself included (and I consider myself a power-user).

I think that taking the size of the team making the service right now, maybe a next-gen-mobile-device optimized page would suffice for this. This way you can just keep using all the Javascript wizardry already present on the site, but just make it fit better within smaller screens whenever is necessary.
