This project is still ongoing.

The idea for this application emerged after having experience one too many spoils regarding some movie or tv show while reading in group chats.

The aim is to provide a place for people discuss at will with their friends any movie or show that they are currently watching. The following are the expected features after completion:

  • Create watchlists, to track a group of movies or shows to watch later
  • Collaborative watchlists, to enable a group viewing experience
  • Search for movies or shows
  • Create chatrooms to discuss a certain watchlist, movie or show
  • iPad support for a seamless experience in all devices
  • Dark theme support for devices running iOS 13 or up
