Caption 2.0 - Instantly find the right subtitles for your next movie 🍿

Hi, 😇 I'm proud to announce that we (@vernon_dg and I) are shipping the new Caption today. Back in February, we released the first version of Caption (https://www.producthunt.com/post...) the easiest way to find and download subtitles on your Mac. Through simple design, drag & drop search, and automatic downloading & renaming the app allowed you to just start watching. On release, Caption garnered quite some attention thanks to Product Hunt, and a lot has happened since then. In numbers: Caption has been downloaded over 65.000 times and every weekend about 6.000 people all over the world use it to download subtitles. Over the past year, we’ve also been able to gather a lot of feedback from our users. As it turns out, most requests we received were about adding support for Windows and Linux. Well… we’ve been listening. Several months ago, we started from scratch and rebuilt the app from the ground up. We built a more sophisticated search algorithm, we made a separate Node.js package for the core logic, and… we made Caption available for every platform. Now, after insane amounts of coffee, many sleepless nights, and hundreds of Git commits, we're finally ready to ship the new Caption, and let you just start watching… on MacOS, Windows, and Linux! New features: - Get notified when your subtitles are downloaded. - Added support for multiple sources. - Completely new UI. - Added support for Windows + Linux. - Search subtitles directly from macOS Finder / Explorer. Improvements: - Improved search algorithm for file search (we’re now comparing file hashes to find the right subtitle). - Text search will now check multiple sources asynchronously. - Support subtitle search for a large amount of video files. - App launches 5 times faster.
