Hi RT Team (Specifically Ben),

As a longtime fan, I wanted to suggest a few powerful upgrades to the video playback experience with features that would bring RT closer to top-tier streaming platforms while keeping fans more engaged with the shows we love. Though I don't know how realistic it is to implement on the backend.

Key Features to Consider:

• Currently Watching: Show a “Continue Watching” row on the homepage that remembers where users left off, great for keeping viewers locked into a series without backtracking.

• Resume Playback: Automatically return users to the timestamp they left off on any video, across devices.

• Autoplay Next Episode: Seamlessly transition to the next episode in a series, with a short countdown and cancel option, perfect for binge sessions. (Currently binging Camp Camp again)

• Watch History: A personal log of completed and "in-progress" videos that users can revisit anytime.

• Next Up Queue: Allow users to manually queue episodes or shows for auto-play, similar to a custom playlist. (This one is the least necessary)

These are small features that could improve user experience and retention. From a technical standpoint, they’re achievable with lightweight backend tracking of watch progress and some smart UI additions. (But I'm not a software engineer) Happy to provide more thoughts or test if this moves forward!

Thanks for all the work you do, loving the platform’s evolution so far. <3

Best,
Anthony,
