My reason for asking is because I didn't see any advantages, but I wasn't sure if I was missing something. At a glance, Showgoers seems a bit more mature of a solution than Netflix Party; they've had head-start time to integrate simple text chat and friendly UI, where Netflix Party seems more raw by nature of being newer to the space.
I guess I was just looking for a "I had this problem, looked around and found Showgoers, but it was missing _______, so I built this to fill that need", but it looks like the case is more "I had this problem, so I just went and built something," which is not necessarily bad either.
