CrossBinge is a cross-media taste and recommendation engine. It connects films, TV, games, books, and music into one taste graph, so a single thing you love can lead you to what to watch, read, play, and listen to next, across every medium at once.
Most recommenders live inside one silo: a film site knows films, a book site knows books. CrossBinge is built the other way round. Everything, movies, series, games, novels, albums, lives in one embedding space, so "if you loved this film, here are the books, games, and albums it rhymes with" is a first-class query.
This repository is the open companion to CrossBinge: public API notes, dataset and attribution documentation, and a high-level write-up of how the cross-media recommendations work. The product itself lives at crossbinge.com.

- Discover across media. Rate or save a few things you love and get recommendations that cross freely between film, TV, games, books, and music.
- Follow a thread. Every work links out to the same theme in other media, the other work of its director / author / studio / artist, and the wider series or franchise it belongs to.
- Browse by taste, not just genre. Mood, theme, and "for fans of…" guides span every medium.
- People and franchises. Unified creator profiles and cross-media series pages.
- Charts, quizzes, and editorial. Blended-popularity leaderboards, knowledge quizzes, and a weekly entertainment magazine.

CrossBinge is an independent project by Martin Mouritzen. The application code is closed-source; this repository is intentionally open so the API, the data sources we build on, and the recommendation approach are documented in the clear.
