I think it would be nice if there was a convenient method for searching for a type of media which contains multiple tropes that one likes. To basically hunt down books or shows one may wish to check out by listing tropes one likes, finding media that contain all these tropes, and then scanning through the resulting list for media descriptions that look interesting.

I don't know much about the sites 'API', how search and rest features work, but depending on the rest API this may be as easy as creating a pretty GUI for building up the appropriate rest call and hitting 'go'. Or it may be very hard :) anyone able to speak to what the site supports and if the backend already supports something to allow such a feature?
