Hi there,
Before we talk about TVmaze it might be interesting to know who created the site. Behind the curtains there isn't a big company but a small group of friends. Friends who just happen to be TV fanatics and spend way too much time watching and looking up information about the shows they love.
We are addicted to the medium and consume it like no other. This addiction is also one of the driving forces behind the creation of TVmaze. But there is another reason why we embarked on this endeavour.
After years of going through the information provided on other sites, some of us started noticing quite a few inconsistencies between the information provided by the different TV related sites we frequented. What often seems to happen with this information, is that it's taken from one single source with little to no verification and then presented to the user as fact.
With that in mind, we got together to create a beautiful website that compares all the different sources on the web and combines it with the knowledge of a team of TV enthusiasts. This ensures that anything you look up on TVmaze will likely be more accurate than any other site you'll ever visit.
TVmaze was also made as a response to the lack of development, lack of response and lack of interest from staff on other tv community websites. We've been developing the site from a users standpoint. Thinking about what are the tools we would like to have ourselves. And as more members have joined the site, they also have been giving us a lot of input from the perspective that is most beneficial to TVmaze's growth.
We all aspire for TVmaze to become the leader in tv and network information. A place where everyone can find the info they are looking for, where contributors have fun adding information and get some fulfillment out of it. For like-minded people to find each other and talk about the shows they like.
We've enjoyed the road so far, we've already met a lot of awesome people who have joined TVmaze. We know we'll meet many more and look forward to working with them towards reaching our goal. To make the most awesomest tv site on the interwebz.
Our work here is never done! We have a lot of exciting new features in the pipeline, but most of all we'd like to hear from you, our users, what you are looking for. Register for an account (it'll only take a few seconds!) and leave some feedback in our forums, and we'll be sure to listen.
Enjoy!
- The TVmaze team
