I built Standupd because I like logging things, and I had nowhere to log the comedy I watch. Letterboxd has my film history. I wanted the same kind of record for stand-up: what I watched, when I watched it, where I saw it, and whether I thought it was any good.

Standupd is free, has no ads, and works on the web and iPhone.

## A diary for streams and live shows

Standupd treats a streamed special and a night at a comedy club as different kinds of entry. Both belong in the same diary, but they stay separate in the log and profile totals. You can rate either one from half a star to five and write a review if you have something to say. A rating on its own is a complete thought.

The ones you saw in a room count double, emotionally.

## The catalog is the product

A comedy diary that cannot find the special I watched has failed at the only thing I built it to do. Today, Standupd lists 1,516 specials from 673 comedians—a number that keeps growing as new releases arrive. The catalog is checked instead of typed from memory: harvesting scripts find new entries, a verification pass checks them before publication, and separate jobs keep the posters and metadata current.

## The same diary on web and iPhone

[standupd.com](https://standupd.com/) and the [iPhone app](https://apps.apple.com/app/standupd/id6804616635) share the same accounts, catalog, diary, ratings, reviews, public feed, and watchlist. The app is built in Flutter. A Node and Express API handles the product, with Prisma and PostgreSQL underneath.

The Astro website prerenders the public catalog and serves it from Cloudflare, so signed-out visitors do not wait for the API to wake up. After sign-in, the site layers live account data over the same pages.

## Social posts made from real product data

I also built the system behind [@standupdapp on Instagram](https://instagram.com/standupdapp) and [X](https://x.com/standupdapp). It finds reasons to post in data Standupd already has, including anniversaries, new releases, what people are logging, and overlooked specials.

The same subject becomes a different post on each network. X gets a concise post and a link. Instagram gets a longer caption and a generated card using the special’s real poster art. I designed four visual templates for those cards: Playbill, Spotlight, Archive, and Marquee. The planner rotates subjects and layouts so the accounts do not repeat the same format.

Nothing goes out until I review and approve the plan. After that, Buffer handles the publishing automatically.

## The parts that make it shippable

Standupd has public reviews, profiles, and activity, so moderation shipped with the product. Reviews pass through a content filter, members can report or block accounts, and repeated reports automatically hide content for review.

The iPhone app has no ads or analytics SDK. The website uses first-party product analytics with autocapture and session recording turned off.
