About Rex From Friends
The platform where your friends become your best recommendation engine
Why I Built This
I'm always looking for suggestions for new shows, music, and movies from friends who know me. Spotify and Netflix are sometimes good, but they don't challenge or surprise you in the same way that a real person can.
There's something magical about a friend saying "You have to watch this" or "This album changed the way I think about music." Those recommendations come with context, emotion, and genuine thought. They push you outside your comfort zone because they know what you need to discover next.
I wanted to create a space where those meaningful recommendations could live and be shared easily among friend groups, without getting lost in text threads or forgotten conversations.
What is Rex From Friends?
Rex From Friends is a monthly recommendation sharing platform where small groups of up to 20 friends exchange their favorite discoveries in movies, TV shows, books, music, and podcasts, restaurants, and more.
Each month, you and your friends submit one recommendation in any category you're passionate about. At the end of the month, everyone sees what their friends picked and why they loved it.
How It Works
Form small, intimate groups with friends who share your interests or challenge your taste.
Each month, submit your favorite discoveries with a personal note about why you loved them.
See what your friends recommended and dive into content you never would have found alone.
Deepen friendships through shared discoveries and meaningful conversations about what moves you.
