Chruku
Chruku is a discussion focused website created for cinephiles.
Chruku is built by a small team of developers, in their free time.
❔ Why another movie site?
While sites like IMDb, rotten tomatoes and Letterboxd exist, they are not discussion friendly. Reviews often get mixed with opinion, praises and critiques. There are also many low-effort/low-quality reviews. While everyone can and should be able to post what they like, we felt that can be better organization of such posts.
There also exist sites like Reddit and Hacker News, which do online discussions justice. Although, these sites are generic, and they lack the organization of content for specific of particular domains like movies in our case.
