[FEAT] Improve Watchlist UX with Auto-Fill, Folder Grouping, and Navigation Refinements #7
Description
❓ Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
While using the app, I noticed a few UX issues and areas for enhancement. Some actions feel manual or unclear, and navigation could be more intuitive. Specifically:
-
The "Add Item" page asks for too many manual inputs.
-
The theme changer on the landing page feels unnecessary.
-
Navigation to the About page is not easily noticeable.
-
The “Add Item” option is shown even on non-functional pages like About.
-
There's no way to organize watchlist entries into custom categories like “First Priority” or “Saving for Later.”
💡 Describe the solution you'd like
-
Auto-fetch watchlist data: Allow automatic fetching of fields like poster, overview, genre, etc., when adding an item - leaving only title, date watched, and rating for manual input.
-
Remove theme switcher on landing page: Simplify the UI by removing unnecessary elements.
-
Improve visibility of About page link: Make the navigation element more prominent or accessible.
-
Restrict Add Item button: Hide or disable the "Add Item" functionality when on the About page.
-
Add support for folders or categories: Let users group movies/shows under custom labels like “First Priority” or “Save for Later” to improve organization.
🔄 Describe alternatives you've considered (Optional)
-
Manually entering all watchlist item fields, though this is tedious and error-prone.
-
Tagging items instead of grouping, though folders would provide clearer categorization.
-
Keeping "Add Item" always visible, but this could confuse users on informational pages.
