 By _minor_ I mean one of those things that may well break inexplicably depending on where the data lands. Instead of returning a normalized array based directly off the data returned by [Trakt](https://trakt.tv)'s API I'm instead collecting episodes in an array, checking as I iterate through the response to see if an episode of the same show exists and replacing that object with a mutated object designed to display the range of episodes watched for the show.

 We should look to support small businesses on the internet in much the same way. Some of the best (weirdest and most creative too) products and services we have access to are developed by one or a handful of folks[^1] and provide far better service and optionality than services that are scaling to meet a mass market or take advantage of economies of scale.

-Not all big businesses are bad (absolutes often can be) — but the drive to scale forever, put off developing a business model until later (hey — look at all that user data!) and never stop growing profits has proven to have some pretty terrible outcomes for everyone involved short of owners and investors. So go buy a weird domain (not from a registrar that’s getting sold because someone got bored), connect it to a small email service and buy some apps or something. Keep the internet weird and a little more sustainable.
