On a streaming library, cross-device resume gets tricky when two sessions update the same progress. Are you storing playback position per profile with a last-updated timestamp?

hi - great question but our solution is a little different. We don't stream content, just make it easier for folks to find what to watch (alone or with a group) and then give them a great UI to keep track of their Watchlists across devices.

Got it — the product is about discovery and shared watchlists, not playback. In that case, keeping list changes in sync across devices is probably the key detail, especially when people use a group watchlist together.

Yes - but one of the things I like most about the app is it allows multiple users to have their own Watchlist on the same streaming device. No more sharing a single list with your partner, roommates or kids. Everyone gets to have their own!

That makes sense. Do each person's list sync across their own devices, or only the shared device?
