Description
The goal of this project was to create a desktop GUI (Graphical User Interface) application that would manage a user’s media backlog. To do this, the user provides the amount of time they want to spend watching either a show or movie and fills in other optional criteria, such as genre, director, actors, and more. From there, the app returns recommendations based on the search criteria. The backlog of items is provided by the user via a simple search-by-title functionality. This search queries IMDb, a website dedicated to aggregating information about film, TV series, and other visual media, and returns a list of results. The user is able to see each result’s title, year released, and poster, which they can then select with a simple click. A variety of information about the title is then added to the user’s personal database, which can then be used later to when trying to find something to watch.
