A movie rating platform built on Python/Django.

My goal was to create an incredibly simple way to track movies I have watched, and movies I would like to see. It had to be fast. It had to be fun. The end result met those challenges.

What makes this app especially unique is its dead simple onboarding and login system. Instead of creating a username or connecting to a third party service, you simply start rating movies. You’re given a unique link you can use to login with later.

The login mechanism in-particular had a warm reception when presented publicly. At the time it was relatively novel, and some much larger entities are using similar approaches now. I later had the opportunity to install similar functionality in a major communications application also built on Django.

I used the site personally for a long-time, but did not maintain it. Rather than upgrading the technologies I took it down.
