Our website helps users find new content to watch or play by randomly suggesting a movie, TV show, or game based on the user’s preferences. Registering for an account allows users to save their recommendations and return to them later.
The idea came when we realized how often we find ourselves re-watching the same old shows and movies, replaying the same old games, or wanting to watch/play something but being unable to decide.
Our website provides users with semi-random recommendations for movies, TV shows, and games based on selected criteria and data gathered from two APIs: The Movie Database (TMDB) and Rawg. For movies and TV, the app searches through TMDB to make a recommendation based on type, genre, and run time. For games, the recommendation data comes from Rawg and is based on type, genre, console, and publisher. Registering for an account allows users to save their recommendations in lists and return to them later.
